1 LORD, let me know mine end and the number of my days that I may be certified how long I have to live.
2 Behold, thou hast made my days as it were a span long and mine age even as nothing in respect of thee and verily every man living is altogether vanity.
3 For man walketh in a vain shadow and disquieteth himself in vain; he heapeth up riches and cannot tell who shall gather them.
4 And now, Lord, what is my hope; truly my hope is even in thee.
5 Deliver me from all mine offences and make me not a rebuke unto the foolish.
6 When thou with rebukes dost chasten man for sin, thou makest his beauty to consume away like as it were a moth fretting a garment; every man therefore is but vanity.
7 Hear my prayer O LORD and with thine ears consider my calling; hold not thy peace at my tears;
8 For I am a stranger with thee and a sojourner as all my fathers were.
9 O spare me a little that I may recover my strength before I go hence and be no more seen.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
