hope

Psalm 39
4 "LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.

  Remind me that my days are numbered -


  how fleeting my life is.


5 You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.

  My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;

  at best, each of us is but a breath."


6 We are merely moving shadows,

  and all our busy rushing ends in nothing.

We heap up wealth,

  not knowing who will spend it.


7 And so, Lord, where do I put my hope?

  My only hope is in you.
