Psalms 39

4 "Let me know, O Yahweh, my end,

and what is the measure of my days.

Let me know how transient I am."

5 Look, you have made my days mere handbreadths,

and my lifespan as nothing next to you.

Surely every person standing firm is complete vanity. Selah

6 Surely a man walks about as a mere shadow;*Literally "image"

surely in vain they bustle about.

He heaps up possessions but does not know who will gather them in.
