Tehillim 39:3-5

Orthodox Jewish Bible

^3 (4) My lev became hot within me; while I was musing the eish burned; then I spoke with my leshon,

^4 (5) Hashem, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my yamim, what it is; that I may have da’as of how chadel (fleeting, frail) I am.

^5 (6) Hinei, Thou hast made my yamim as a handbreadth, and mine lifespan is as nothing before Thee; verily kol adam stand as kol hevel (altogether vanity). Selah.
