Psalms 39:6
Compare all
4 “Lord, amake me to know my end,
And what is the measure of my days,
That I may know how frail I am. 
5 Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths,
And my age is as nothing before You;
Certainly every man at his best state is but avapor. Selah 
6 Surely every man walks about like a shadow;
Surely they1 busy themselves in vain;
He heaps up riches,
And does not know who will gather them. 
7 “And now, Lord, what do I wait for?
My ahope is in You. 
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions;
Do not make me athe reproach of the foolish.

Psalms 39:6

Vain shew - Heb. in a shadow or image; in an imaginary rather than a real life: in the pursuit of vain imaginations, in which there is nothing solid or satisfactory: man in and his life, and all his happiness in this world, are rather appearances and dreams, than truths and realities. Disquieted - Heb. They make a noise, bustling, or tumult, with unwearied industry seeking for riches, and troubling and vexing both themselves and others in the pursuit of them.
