Col. 1:3

We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you

Psalm 39:1-5

I said, “I will guard my ways,

    that I may not sin with my tongue;

I will guard my mouth with a muzzle,

    so long as the wicked are in my presence.”

2 

I was mute and silent;

    I held my peace to no avail,

and my distress grew worse.

3 

    My heart became hot within me.

As I mused, the fire burned;

    then I spoke with my tongue:

4 

“O Lord, make me know my end

    and what is the measure of my days;

    let me know how fleeting I am!

5 

Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,    and my lifetime is as nothing before you.
