3 Meu coração se esquentou dentro de mim, fogo se acendeu em minha meditação; [então] eu disse com minha língua:

4 Conta-me, SENHOR, o meu fim, e a duração dos meus dias, para que eu saiba como eu sou frágil.

5 Eis que a palmos tu ordenaste os meus dias, e o tempo de minha vida [é] como nada diante de ti; pois todo homem que existe [é] um nada. (Selá)

6 Certamente o homem anda pela aparência, certamente se inquietam em vão; ajuntam [bens] , e não sabem que [os] levará.

7 E agora, SENHOR, o que eu espero? Minha esperança [está] em ti.
