LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it [is; that] I may know how frail I [am].

LORD {H3068}, make me to know {H3045} mine end {H7093}, and the measure {H4060} of my days {H3117}, what it is; that I may know {H3045}{H8799)} how frail {H2310} I am.

"Make me grasp, ADONAI, what my end must be, what it means that my days are numbered; let me know what a transient creature I am.

Jehovah, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how frail I am.
