Psalm 39:2

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

I was speechless and still; I remained silent, even from speaking good, and my sorrow was stirred.

3 My heart grew hot within me; as I mused, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:

4 “Show me, O LORD, my end and the measure of my days. Let me know how fleeting my life is.
