Psalm 39:4-6
New King James Version
4 “Lord, (A)make me to know my end,
And what is the measure of my days,
That I may know how frail I am.
5 Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths,
And my age is as nothing before You;
Certainly every man at his best state is but (B)vapor. Selah
6 Surely every man walks about like a shadow;
Surely they [a]busy themselves in vain;
He heaps up riches,
And does not know who will gather them.

4 “O Lord, (A)make me know my end
and what is the measure of my days;

and (B)my lifetime is as nothing before you.

Surely for nothing[a] they are in turmoil;
