Psalm 39:5-7

Tree of Life Version

⁵ “Let me know, Adonai, my end
and what the number of my days is.
Let me know how short-lived I am.
⁶ Behold, You made my days mere hand-breadths,
and my lifetime as nothing before You.
Surely all humanity is but vapor. Selah
⁷ Everyone goes about as a mere phantom.
Surely they are making an uproar in vain, heaping up stuff—
yet not knowing who will gather it.^[a]
