Psalms 90:12

12 So teach us to consider our mortality, ^{▼▼ Heb “to number our days,” that is, to be aware of how few they really are.}
so that we might live wisely. ^{▼▼ Heb “and we will bring a heart of wisdom.” After the imperative of the preceding line, the prefixed verbal form with the conjunction indicates purpose/result. The Hebrew term “heart” here refers to the center of one’s thoughts, volition, and moral character.}
