New Life Version
Psalm 39:5-7
New Life Version
5 You have made each of my days as long as a hand is wide. My whole life is nothing in Your eyes. Every man at his best is only a breath. 6 Every man walks here and there like a shadow. He makes a noise about nothing. He stores up riches, not knowing who will gather them.
7 And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You.

Psalm 39:5-7
New International Version
5 You have made my days(A) a mere handbreadth;
the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath,(B)
even those who seem secure.[a]
6 “Surely everyone goes around(C) like a mere phantom;(D)
in vain they rush about,(E) heaping up wealth(F)
without knowing whose it will finally be.(G)
7 “But now, Lord, what do I look for?
My hope is in you.(H)
