3. So I became utterly speechless, kept silent even from good, but my anguish was stirred up.
4. My heart was hot within me, while I was musing, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:
5. “Let me know, Adonai, my end and what the number of my days is. Let me know how short-lived I am.
6. Behold, You made my days mere hand-breadths, and my lifetime as nothing before You. Surely all humanity is but vapor. Selah
7. Everyone goes about as a mere phantom. Surely they are making an uproar in vain, heaping up stuff— yet not knowing who will gather it.
8. And now, my Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You.
9. Deliver me from all my transgressions. Do not make me the scorn of a fool.
10. I am speechless, not opening my mouth —for You have done it.
