Herr, lehre doch mich [Lord, make me to know mine end], from Ein deutsches Requiem [A German Requiem] (Psalm 39:4-7) – Johannes Brahms

 

Psalm 39:4-7 [German]

⁴ Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.

⁵ Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.

⁶ Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

⁷ And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
