Psalm 39:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³My heart was deeply troubled.
As I thought about what was happening to me,
I became even more troubled.
Then I spoke out.

⁴I said, “Lord, show me when my life will end.
    Show me how many days I have left.
    Tell me how short my life will be.
⁵You have given me only a few days to live.
    My whole life doesn’t seem like anything to you.
    No one lasts any longer than a breath.
    This is true even for those who feel secure.
