Psalm 39:1-7 NIV

[1] I said, “I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth while in the presence of the wicked.” [2] So I remained utterly silent, not even saying anything good. But my anguish increased; [3] my heart grew hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue: [4] “Show me, LORD, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is. [5] You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure. [6] “Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom; in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth without knowing whose it will finally be. [7] “But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.
