Psalm 39:4-6

EasyEnglish Bible

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.
⁵ Yes, you have made the days of my life only a few!
    The time that I live seems very short to you.
Human life is only a breath,
    even for those who seem to be strong.
Selah.
⁶ As we live, we are just like shadows.
    We work to get things for ourselves.
We may get a lot of money,
    but we do not know who will have it after we die.’
