From The New English Bible Psalm 39:4
Lord, let me know my end
and the numbering of my days;
Tell me how short my life must be.
Life is too short for all that angst.
"the numbering of our days" puts things in context.
When we feel how fleeting life is,
our heart might be disposed to some humility
and our tongue would more likely be curbed.
Other priorities may alter too.
Let us pray with the psalmist for the numbering of our days.
Lord, let me know my end
