Psalm 39:5

The Fleeting Nature Of Life

⁴ “Lord, reveal to me the end of my life
and the number of my days.
Let me know how short-lived I am.
⁵ You, indeed, have made my days short in length,
and my life span as nothing in Your sight.
Yes, every mortal man is only a vapor.Selah ⁶ “Certainly, man walks about like a mere shadow.
Indeed, they frantically rush around in vain,
gathering possessions
without knowing who will get them.
