Psalm 39:2-7

New International Version

⁴ “Show me, Lord, my life’s end
    and the number of my days;^(F)
    let me know how fleeting^(G) my life is.^(H)
5 You have made my days^(I) a mere handbreadth;
    the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath,^(J)
    even those who seem secure.^[a]

⁶ “Surely everyone goes around^(K) like a mere phantom;^(L)
    in vain they rush about,^(M) heaping up wealth^(N)
    without knowing whose it will finally be.^(O)

⁷ “But now, Lord, what do I look for?
    My hope is in you.^(P)
