4 My lev became hot within me;
while I was musing the eish burned;
then I spoke with my leshon:
5 Hashem, make me to know mine end,
and the measure of my yamim, what it is;
that I may have da’as of how chadel (fleeting, frail) I am.
6 Hinei, Thou hast made my yamim as a handbreadth,
and mine lifespan is as nothing before Thee;
verily kol adam stand as kol hevel (altogether vanity).
Selah
