Psalm 39:4-7 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

⁴“Show me, O LORD, my end

and the measure of my days.

Let me know how fleeting my life is.

⁵You, indeed, have made my days as handbreadths,

and my lifetime as nothing before You.

Truly each man at his best

exists as but a breath.

⁶Surely every man goes about like a phantom;

surely he bustles in vain;

he heaps up riches

not knowing who will haul them away.

⁷And now, O Lord, for what do I wait?

My hope is in You.

— Psalm 39:4-7
