In context

3My 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.

5You, 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

6Surely every man goes about like a phantom; surely he bustles in vain; he heaps up riches not knowing who will haul them away.

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