LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. how...: or, what time I have here - Psalms 39:4
Here is a three-fold request made by David to his Lord.
- Make me to know mine end. David's end and goal was to, “awake with thy likeness,” to “dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Help me to rest in this hope.
- Make me to know the measure of my days! How short my days are upon the earth, and how near I am to my goal!
- Make me to know how frail I am! A good understanding of my frailty and flesh will humble me, make me more thankful for Christ, enable me to be more patient and forgiving with others, and wean me from this world of flesh and materialism.
