Psalm 39:4-6

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴ “Lord, let me know my end,
    and what is the measure of my days;
    let me know how fleeting my life is!
⁵ Behold, thou hast made my days a few handbreadths,
    and my lifetime is as nothing in thy sight.
Surely every man stands as a mere breath!Selah
⁶     Surely man goes about as a shadow!
Surely for nought are they in turmoil;
    man heaps up, and knows not who will gather!
