Psalm 39:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 my heart smolders within me.(A)
In my sighing a fire blazes up,
and I break into speech:
II
5 Lord, let me know my end, the number of my days,
that I may learn how frail I am.
6 To be sure, you establish the expanse of my days;
indeed, my life is as nothing before you.
Every man is but a breath.(B)
Selah
