Psalm 39:4-6

Modern English Version

⁴ “Lord, make me to know my end,
    and what is the measure of my days,
    that I may know how transient I am.
⁵ Indeed, You have made my days as a handbreadth,
    and my age is as nothing before You;
    indeed every man at his best is as a breath.” Selah
⁶ Surely every man walks in a mere shadow;
    surely he goes as a breath;
    he heaps up riches, and does not know who will gather them.
