Psalm 39:3-5
New American Standard Bible

3 My (A)heart was hot within me,
While I was musing the fire burned;
Then I spoke with my tongue:
4 “Lord, let me know (B)my end,
And what is the extent of my days;
Let me know how (C)transient I am.
5 Behold, You have made (D)my days like [a]hand widths,
And my (E)lifetime as nothing in Your sight;
Certainly all mankind standing is [b]a mere (F)breath. Selah

Psalm 39:3-5
New International Version

3     my heart grew hot(A) within me.
While I meditated,(B) the fire(C) burned;
    then I spoke with my tongue:

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