“LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
Remind me that my days are numbered—
how fleeting my life is.“
…For I am your guest—
a traveler passing through,
as my ancestors were before me.

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the LORD
forever.
