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

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

5Behold, 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

6Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not who shall gather them.

7And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee.

8Deliver me from all my transgressions: Make me not the reproach of the foolish.

9I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; Because thou didst it.
