Psalms 39:3-7 Common English Bible (CEB)

3. My heart got hot inside me;while stewing over it, the fire burned.Then I spoke out with my tongue:

4. "Let me know my end, Lord.How many days do I have left?I want to know how brief my time is."

5. You’ve made my days so short;my lifetime is like nothing in your eyes.Yes, a human life is nothing but a puff of air! Selah

6. Yes, people wander around like shadows;yes, they hustle and bustle, but pointlessly;they don’t even know who will get the wealth they’ve amassed.

7. So now, Lord, what should I be waiting for?My hope is set on you.
