Psalm 39:4

"O Lord, help me understand my mortality and the brevity of life! Let me realize how quickly my life will pass!

So teach us to consider our mortality, so that we might live wisely.

How long must your servant endure this? When will you judge those who pursue me?

"O that you would hide me in Sheol, and conceal me till your anger has passed! O that you would set me a time and then remember me!

For he knows what we are made of; he realizes we are made of clay.
