Psalms 39:4-6
4“Lord, make me to know 1my end And what is the extent of my days; Let me know how 2transient I am.5Behold, You have made 3my days as handbreadths, And my 4lifetime as nothing in Your sight; Surely every man 5at his best is 6a mere 7breath. 8Selah.6Surely every man 9walks about as 10a phantom; Surely they make an 11uproar for nothing; He 12amasses riches and does not know who will gather them.
