Psalm 39:4
Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am. (Psalm 39:4)
How frail I am.
Compare Job 3.
End.
The substance of the psalmist’s troubled thoughts is expressed in the first clause of this verse. The psalmist wants to have a proper sense of the brevity and uncertainty of human life, that he may rest in the consciousness of God’s care.
