Psalm 39:4 in context

  1. 2I was mute with silence.
    I held my peace, even from good.
    My sorrow was stirred.
  2. 3My heart was hot within me.
    While I meditated, the fire burned.
    I spoke with my tongue:
  3. 4“Yahweh, show me my end,
    what is the measure of my days.
    Let me know how frail I am.
  4. 5Behold, you have made my days hand widths.
    My lifetime is as nothing before you.
    Surely every man stands as a breath.”
  5. 6“Surely every man walks like a shadow.
    Surely they busy themselves in vain.
    He heaps up, and doesn’t know who shall gather.
