God's Word Translation

Psalms 39:4-10 God's Word Translation (GW)

4. “Teach me, O Lord, about the end of my life.Teach me about the number of days I have leftso that I may know how temporary my life is.

5. Indeed, you have made the length of my days ⌊only⌋ a few inches.My life span is nothing compared to yours.Certainly, everyone alive is like a whisper in the wind. Selah

6. Each person who walks around is like a shadow.They are busy for no reason.They accumulate riches without knowing who will get them.”

7. And now, Lord, what am I waiting for?My hope is in you!

8. Rescue me from all my rebellious acts.Do not disgrace me in front of godless fools.

9. I remained speechless.I did not open my mouthbecause you are the one who has done this.

10. Remove the sickness you laid upon me.My life is over because you struck me with your hand.
