Psalm 39:2-4

Common English Bible

² So I was completely quiet, silent.
    I kept my peace, but it did no good.
    My pain got worse.
³ My heart got hot inside me;
    while stewing over it, the fire burned.
Then I spoke out with my tongue:
⁴     “Let me know my end, Lord.
    How many days do I have left?
    I want to know how brief my time is.”
