Psalm 90:4

Teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom. NIV

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. KJV

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


Psalm 90:4


Commentary
Even if people lived a thousand years, they would pass away like a watch in the night. A thousand years may seem long at the time, but not in comparison to God's eternal existence.
