""Yahweh, show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am."
— Psalms 39:4, World English Bible
“Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.”
“Jehovah, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how frail I am. ”
““O LORD, help me understand my mortality and the brevity of life! Let me realize how quickly my life will pass!”
“And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear: and they shall hope in the Lord.”
“Lord, give me knowledge of my end, and of the measure of my days, so that I may see how feeble I am.”
“Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.”
I said, "I will watch my ways, so that I don't sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me."
I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.
My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned: I spoke with my tongue:
"Yahweh, show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.
Behold, you have made my days handbreadths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath." Selah.
"Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn't know who shall gather.
Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.
