New International Version (NIV)

4“Show me, Lord, my life’s end

and the number of my days;

let me know how fleeting my life is.

4“Lord, let me know my end,

And what is the extent of my days;

Let me know how transient I am.

4“Lord, let me know my [life’s] end

And [to appreciate] the extent of my days;

Let me know how frail I am [how transient is my stay here].

4“Show me, O Lord, my end

and the measure of my days.

Let me know how fleeting my life is.

4Jehovah, make me to know mine end,

And the measure of my days, what it is;

Let me know how frail I am.

4Lord, let me know mine ende, and the measure of my dayes, what it is: let mee knowe howe long I haue to liue.

4“Yahweh, show me my end,

what is the measure of my days.

Let me know how frail I am.

4I said, “Lord, show me when my life will end.

Show me how many days I have left.

Tell me how short my life will be.

4‘Lord, tell me about my life.

Tell me how long it will be,

and when it will finish.

I need to remember that life is only short.

4“Cause me to know, O YHWH, my end, || And the measure of my days—what it [is],” || I know how frail I [am].
