Psalms 39:3 ASV

¹  I said, I will take heed to my ways, That I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, While the wicked is before me.

²  I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; And my sorrow was stirred.

³  My heart was hot within me; While I was musing the fire burned: 'Then' spake I with my tongue:

⁴  Jehovah, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how frail I am.

⁵  Behold, thou hast made my days 'as' handbreadths; And my life-time is as nothing before thee: Surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Selah
