Psalm 39:4-6
Contemporary English Version
Psalm 39:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 “Please, Lord,
show me my future.
Will I soon be gone?
5 You made my life short,
so brief that the time
means nothing to you.
“Human life is but a breath,
6 and it disappears
like a shadow.
Our struggles are senseless;
we store up more and more,
without ever knowing
who will get it all.
Psalm 39:4-6
