Wise & Beautiful Scriptures About Our Day of Death

My times are in your hands...Psalm 31:15

...all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139:16
Show me, Lord, my life’s end
    and the number of my days;
    let me know how fleeting my life is.
You have made my days a mere handbreadth;    the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath...Psalm 39:4,5
A person’s days are determined;
    you have decreed the number of his months
    and have set limits he cannot exceed. Job 14:5


Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Luke 11:25 

Mortals, born of woman,
    are of few days and full of trouble.
They spring up like flowers and wither away;
    like fleeting shadows, they do not endure. 
Job 14:1-2

The life of mortals is like grass,
    they flourish like a flower of the field;
16 the wind blows over it and it is gone,
    and its place remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
    the Lord’s love is with those who fear him...Psalm 103:15-17


You turn people back to dust,
    saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.”
A thousand years in your sight
    are like a day that has just gone by,
    or like a watch in the night.
Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death—
    they are like the new grass of the morning:
In the morning it springs up new,
    but by evening it is dry and withered. 

Psalm 90:3-6

Our days may come to seventy years,
    or eighty, if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,
    for they quickly pass, and we fly away. 
Psalm 90:10

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

Psalm 90:12


Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
    but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
Proverbs 19:21
In His love, God will carry you through
these times of suffering.  -fh
