2. NIV New International Version

   4 "Show me, Lord, my life’s end

   and the number of my days;

   let me know how fleeting my life is.

   5 You have made my days a mere handbreadth;

   the span of my years is as nothing before you.

   Everyone is but a breath,

   even those who seem secure.*39:5 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verse 11.

   6 "Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom;

   in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth

   without knowing whose it will finally be.

3. ESV English Standard Version

   4 "O Lord, *Ps. 90:12make 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 *Ps. 89:47;90:4my lifetime is as nothing before you.

   Surely *ver. 11;[Job 14:2]all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah

   6 Surely a man *[1 Cor. 7:31;James 4:14] goes about as a shadow!

   Surely for nothing*39:6 Hebrew Surely as a breath they are in turmoil;

   man *Ps. 49:10;Job 27:16,17;Luke 12:20;[Eccles. 2:18,21,26;Jer. 17:11]heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!

4. NLT New Living Translation

   4 "Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.

   Remind me that my days are numbered—

   how fleeting my life is.

   5 You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.

   My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;

   at best, each of us is but a breath." Interlude

   6 We are merely moving shadows,

   and all our busy rushing ends in nothing.

   We heap up wealth,

   not knowing who will spend it.

5. NKJV Nova Versão King James

   4 "Lord, *Ps. 90:12; 119:84make me to know my end,

   And what is the measure of my days,

   That I may know how frail I am.

   5 Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths,

   And my age is as nothing before You;

   Certainly every man at his best state is but *Ps. 62:9; (Eccl. 6:12)vapor.

   Selah

   6 Surely every man walks about like a shadow;

   Surely they busy themselves in vain;

   He heaps up riches,

   And does not know who will gather them.

6. CSB Christian Standard Bible

   4 "Lord, make me aware of my end

   and the number of my days

   so that I will know how short-lived I am.  * 39:4 Ps 78:39; 90:12; 103:14

   5 In fact, you have made my days just inches long,

   and my life span is as nothing to you.

   Yes, every human being stands as only a vapor.  * 39:5 Ps 62:9; 89:47; 144:4Selah

   6 Yes, a person goes about like a mere shadow.

   Indeed, they rush around in vain,

   gathering possessions

   without knowing who will get them.  * 39:6 Ps 49:10; Ec 2:18–19; Lk 12:20; 1Co 7:31

7. DRA Douay-Rheims American 1899

   4 And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear: and they shall hope in the Lord.

   5 Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.

   6 Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee. I have declared and I have spoken they are multiplied above number.

   4-6 "Tell me, what’s going on, God?

   How long do I have to live?

   Give me the bad news!

   You’ve kept me on pretty short rations;

   my life is a string too short to be saved.

   Oh! we’re all puffs of air.

   Oh! we’re all shadows in a campfire.

   Oh! we’re just spit in the wind.

   We make our pile, and then we leave it.
