Psalms 39:6

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

⁵ You, 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. Selah

Surely every man goes about like a phantom; surely he bustles in vain; he heaps up riches not knowing who will haul them away.

⁷ And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.

⁸ Deliver me from all my transgressions; do not make me the reproach of fools.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
