They cried out with a loud voice,“ Lord, the one who is holy and true, how long until you judge those who live on the earth and avenge our blood?”So they were each given a white robe, and they were told to rest a little while longer until the number would be completed of their fellow servants and their brothers and sisters, who were going to be killed just as they had been.
“ LORD, make me aware of my end and the number of my days so that I will know how short-lived I am.In fact, you have made my days just inches long, and my life span is as nothing to you. Yes, every human being stands as only a vapor. Selah
Remember how short my life is. Have you created everyone for nothing?What courageous person can live and never see death? Who can save himself from the power of Sheol? Selah
My days pass more swiftly than a weaver’s shuttle; they come to an end without hope.Remember that my life is but a breath. My eye will never again see anything good.The eye of anyone who looks on me will no longer see me. Your eyes will look for me, but I will be gone.
