PSALM 39

WHAT IS THE MEASURE OF MY DAYS?

David wrestles with his mortality and fleeting time on earth, saying his life is like a mere shadow or breath. When David was silent around wickedness, his anguish grew worse. David asks God to listen to his cry before his short life is over. 

Psalm 39:4 - O Lord, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am!
