3 My heart was hot within me.While I meditated, the fire burned.I spoke with my tongue:
4 “Lord, show me my end,what is the measure of my days.Let me know how frail I am.
5 Behold, you have made my days hand widths.My lifetime is as nothing before you.Surely every man stands as a breath.” Selah.
6 “Surely every man walks like a shadow.Surely they busy themselves in vain.He heaps up, and doesn’t know who shall gather.
7 Now, Lord, what do I wait for?My hope is in you.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions.Don’t make me the reproach of the foolish.
9 I was mute.I didn’t open my mouth,because you did it.
