4My heart grew hot within me, And a fire would kindle in my meditation: I spoke with my tongue,
5O Lord, make me to know mine end, And the number of my days, what it is; That I may know what I lack.
— Psalms 38:6 —
7Surely man walks in a shadow; Nay, he is disquieted in vain: He lays up treasures, and knows not for whom he shall gather them.
8And now what is my expectation? is it not the Lord? And my ground of hope is with thee. Pause.
