Tehillim 39:2-4

Orthodox Jewish Bible

^2 (3) I was dumb with silence, I held my peace for the sake of tov; and my distress grew severe.

^3 (4) My lev became hot within me; while I was musing the eish burned; then I spoke with my leshon,

^4 (5) Hashem, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my yamim, what it is; that I may have da’as of how chadel (fleeting, frail) I am.
