Psalm 39:4-7

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁴ “Lord, let me know my end
    and what is the measure of my days;
    let me know how fleeting my life is.^(A)
5 You have made my days a few handbreadths,
    and my lifetime is as nothing in your sight.
Surely everyone stands as a mere breath. Selah^(B)
6     Surely everyone goes about like a shadow.
Surely for nothing they are in turmoil;
    they heap up and do not know who will gather.^(C)

⁷ “And now, O Lord, what do I wait for?
    My hope is in you.^(D)
