Psalm 39:5-6
New American Standard Bible
5 Behold, You have made (A)my days like [a]hand widths,
And my (B)lifetime as nothing in Your sight;
Certainly all mankind standing is [b]a mere (C)breath. Selah
6 Certainly every person (D)walks around as [c]a fleeting shadow;
They certainly make an (E)uproar for nothing;
He (F)amasses riches and does not know who will gather them.
