Psalm 39:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵You have made my days a few handbreadths,
    and my lifetime is as nothing in your sight.
Surely everyone stands as a mere breath. Selah^(A)
⁶    Surely everyone goes about like a shadow.
Surely for nothing they are in turmoil;
    they heap up and do not know who will gather.^(B)

⁷“And now, O Lord, what do I wait for?
My hope is in you.^(C)
