Psalm 39:5 in context

  1. 3My heart was hot within me; While I was musing the fire burned; Then spake I with my tongue:
  2. 4Jehovah, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how frail I am.
  3. 5Behold, thou hast made my days as handbreadths; And my life-time is as nothing before thee: Surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Selah
  4. 6Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
  5. 7And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee.
