Psalm 39:3-5

Common English Bible

³ My heart got hot inside me;
    while stewing over it, the fire burned.
Then I spoke out with my tongue:
⁴     “Let me know my end, Lord.
    How many days do I have left?
    I want to know how brief my time is.”
⁵ You’ve made my days so short;
    my lifetime is like nothing in your eyes.
        Yes, a human life is nothing but a puff of air! Selah
