Psalm 39:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ Look, you have made my life span fit in your hand;
    It is nothing compared to yours.
        Surely every person at their best is a puff of wind.
Interlude
⁶ In fact, people walk around as shadows.
    Surely, they busy themselves for nothing,
        heaping up possessions but not knowing who will get them.
⁷ How long, Lord, will I wait expectantly?
    I have placed my hope in you.
