Psalm 89:47

“Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?”

KJV

Meaning

Human frailty raises the urgency of the prayer: there is limited time for the covenant crisis to be answered within a human lifetime.

The question belongs to lament and presses God for covenant action; it is not a final metaphysical conclusion.

Let mortality sharpen what matters without collapsing into nihilism.
