Psalms 39:5

← Psalms 39:4 Psalms 39:5 (KJV) Psalms 39:6 →
LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it [is; that] I may know how frail I [am].
Behold, thou hast made my days [as] an handbreadth; and mine age [is] as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state [is] altogether vanity. Selah.
Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not who shall gather them.
