Psalm 39:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² So I did not speak a word,
    even about good things.
That made me very upset.
³ It was like a fire inside me!
As I thought more about it,
    I just had to say something!
So I said this:
⁴ ‘Lord, tell me about my life.
Tell me how long it will be,
    and when it will finish.
I need to remember that life is only short.
