4 "O Lord, *make me know my end

and what is the measure of my days;

let me know how fleeting I am!

5 Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,

and *my lifetime is as nothing before you.

Surely *all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah

6 Surely a man *goes about as a shadow!

Surely for nothing* they are in turmoil;

man *heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!
