This is a very nice question. Here are some verses:
Proverbs 9
10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 For through me your days will be many,
and years will be added to your life.
Psalm 34 12 Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,
13 keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from speaking lies.
14 Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.
Ecclesiastes 5
19 Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work this is a gift of God. 20 He seldom reflects on the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with gladness of heart.
THOUGH THE ONE THAT PROBABLY BETTER REFLECTS HOW PRECIOUS LIFE IS IS THIS ONE:
Luke 17
20Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, 21nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU."

I think the entirety of Psalm 90 (written by Moses) delves into this subject, but I find the following verses especially touching:
9 For all our days have passed away in Your wrath;
We finish our years like a sigh.
10 The days of our lives are seventy years;
And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;
For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of Your anger?
For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
12 ***So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.***
Moses' message was this: God, teach me to understand that I only have a set time here on earth. May I never forget that I am a frail human being, whose days are indeed limited. If I keep this in mind continually, I will surely be more productive for You.

you certainly dont need the bible to tell you that! just have a look around you .
be thankful for all you have done, seen ,felt sensed ,given and taken during your life and know that tomorrow is a new day for you to choose to do whatever you truly desire with .

James 4:14
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

Psalm 51.....
Somewhere in the middle, David speaks of how the Lord "formed my inner parts inside my mother's womb"
There's another psalm that speaks of this......I just forget which one

Is that the bit where God kills the first born male civilians of Egypt to change Pharoh's politics?
