Something which I flagged in my Bible a number of months ago:

"My life is no longer than my hand!

My whole lifetime is but a moment to you.

Proud man!

Frail as breath!

A shadow!

And all his busy rushing ends in nothing.

He heaps up riches for someone else to spend.

And so, Lord, my only hope is in you."

~ Psalm 39:5 - 7 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "The brevity of life is a theme throughout the books of Psalms, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes. Christ also spoke about it. It is ironic that people spend so much time securing their lives on earth and spend little or no thought on where they will spend eternity. David realized that amassing riches and busily accomplishing worldly tasks would make no difference in eternity. Few people understand that their only hope is in the Lord."
