Living Bible
2-3 But as I stood there silently the turmoil within me grew to the bursting point. The more I mused, the hotter the fires inside. Then at last I spoke and pled with God: 4 Lord, help me to realize how brief my time on earth will be. Help me to know that I am here for but a moment more.

Psalm 39:2-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 I was speechless and quiet;
I kept silent, even from speaking good,
and my pain intensified.(A)
3 My heart grew hot within me;
as I mused, a fire burned.(B)
I spoke with my tongue:
4 “Lord, reveal to me the end of my life
and the number of my days.
Let me know how short-lived I am.(C)
