Psalm 39:5-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵ Behold, You have made my days as [short as] handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing in Your sight. Truly every man at his best is merely a breath! Selah [pause, and think calmly of that]!

⁶ Surely every man walks to and fro—like a shadow in a pantomime; surely for futility and emptiness he is in turmoil; each one heaps up riches, not knowing who will gather them.^(A)

⁷ And now, Lord, what do I wait for and expect? My hope and expectation are in You.
