Life is Short (Psalm 39:1-13)

The Holy Bible (King James Version, KJV) for Kindle: The Old & New Testaments, Deuterocanonical literature, Glossary & Suggested Reading List. ILLUSTRATED by Gustave Dore (Mobi Spiritual)I said, "I will be careful how I act and will not since by what I say. I will be careful what I say around wicked people." So I kept very quite. I didn't even say anything good, but I became even more upset. I became very angry inside, and as I thought about it, my anger burned. So I spoke: "Lord, tell me when the end will come and how long I will live. Let me know how long I have. You have given me only a short life; my lifetime is like nothing to you. Everyone's lief is only a breath. People are like shadows moving about. All their work is for nothing; they collect things but don't know who will get them.

"So, Lord, what hope do I have? You are my hope. Save me from all my sins. Don't let wicked fools make fun of me. I am quite; I do not open mouth, because you are the one who has done this. Quit punishing me; your beating is about to kill me. You correct and punish people for their sins; like a moth, you destroy what they love. Everyone's life is only a breath..

"Lord, hear my prayer, and listen to my cry. Do not ignore my tears. I am like a visitor with you. Like my ancestors, I'm only here a short time. Leave me alone so I can be happy before I have leave and am no more." Psalm 39:1-13 www.Acknowledgement.com
