How Long we Will Live

So the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120 years.”

The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty if we are strong—yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

Since his days are determined and the number of his months is with You, and since You have set limits that he cannot exceed,

Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be.

So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Honor your father and mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

“Show me, O LORD, my end and the measure of my days. Let me know how fleeting my life is.
