Psalms 39:9-13 ▼

9 I am silent and do not open my mouth because you are the one who did this.

10 Take your plague away from me; I am ravaged by the touch of your hand.

11 You chastise man with rebukes for sin; like a moth you consume his treasures. Every man is but a breath. Selah

12 Listen to my prayer, LORD, hear my cry; do not be deaf to my weeping! For I am with you like a foreigner, a refugee, like my ancestors.

13 Turn your gaze from me, that I may smile before I depart to be no more.
