Psalm 39:4-6

New Century Version

⁴ “Lord, tell me when the end will come
    and how long I will live.
    Let me know how long I have.
⁵ You have given me only a short life;
    my lifetime is like nothing to you.
    Everyone’s life is only a breath. Selah
⁶ People are like shadows moving about.
    All their work is for nothing;
    they collect things but don’t know who will get them.
