Psalm 39:4-6
Easy-to-Read Version
4 Lord, tell me, what will happen to me now?
Tell me, how long will I live?
Let me know how short my life really is.
5 You gave me only a short life.
Compared to you, my whole life is nothing.
The life of every human is like a cloud that quickly disappears. Selah
6 Our life is like an image in a mirror.[a]
We rush through life collecting things,
but we don’t know who will get them after we die.
