Psalm 39:2-4
Revised Standard Version

2 I was dumb and silent,
    I held my peace to no avail;
my distress grew worse,
3     my heart became hot within me.
As I mused, the fire burned;
    then I spoke with my tongue:

4 “Lord, let me know my end,
    and what is the measure of my days;
    let me know how fleeting my life is!
