New Testament

Psalms 39:4-11 Modern English Version (MEV)

4. “Lord, make me to know my end,and what is the measure of my days,that I may know how transient I am.

5. Indeed, You have made my days as a handbreadth,and my age is as nothing before You;indeed every man at his best is as a breath.” Selah

6. Surely every man walks in a mere shadow;surely he goes as a breath;he heaps up riches, and does not know who will gather them.

7. Now, Lord, what do I wait for?My hope is in You.

8. Deliver me from all my transgressions;do not make me the reproach of the foolish.

9. I was speechless, I did not open my mouth,because You did it.

10. Remove Your blow from me;I am consumed by the hostility of Your hand.

11. When with rebukes You correct a man for iniquity,You consume like a moth what is dear to him;surely every man is vapor. Selah
