Psalm 39:2-4
International Standard Version

2 I was as silent as a mute person;
    I said nothing, not even something good,
        and my distress deepened.
3 My heart within me became incensed;[a]
    as I thought about it, the fire burned.

Then I[b] spoke out:
4 “Lord, let me know how my life ends,[c]
    and the standard by which you will measure[d] my days, whatever it is!
        Then I will know how transient my life is.
