Hebrews 11:9-16
New King James Version
9 By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, (A)dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, (B)the heirs with him of the same promise; 10 for he waited for (C)the city which has foundations, (D)whose builder and maker is God.
11 By faith (E)Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and (F)she[a] bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him (G)faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as (H)dead, were born as many as the (I)stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.
The Heavenly Hope
13 These all died in faith, (J)not having received the (K)promises, but (L)having seen them afar off [b]were assured of them, embraced them and (M)confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For those who say such things (N)declare plainly that they seek a homeland. 15 And truly if they had called to mind (O)that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed (P)to be called their God, for He has (Q)prepared a city for them.

Psalm 90:3-12
New King James Version
3 You turn man to destruction,
And say, (A)“Return, O children of men.”
4 (B)For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it is past,
And like a watch in the night.
5 You carry them away like a flood;
(C)They are like a sleep.
In the morning (D)they are like grass which grows up:
6 In the morning it flourishes and grows up;
In the evening it is cut down and withers.
7 For we have been consumed by Your anger,
And by Your wrath we are terrified.
8 (E)You have set our iniquities before You,
Our (F)secret sins in the light of Your countenance.
9 For all our days have passed away in Your wrath;
We finish our years like a sigh.
10 The days of our lives are seventy years;
And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;
For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of Your anger?
For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
12 (G)So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 89:47-48
New King James Version
47 Remember how short my time (A)is;

48 What man can live and not [a]see (C)death?
Can he deliver his life from the power of [b]the grave? Selah
