Psalm 39:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ You discipline people for their sin, punishing them;
    like a moth, you ruin what they treasure.
        Yes, a human life is just a puff of air! Selah

¹² Hear my prayer, Lord!
    Listen closely to my cry for help!
Please don’t ignore my tears!
    I’m just a foreigner—
        an immigrant staying with you,
        just like all my ancestors were.
¹³ Look away from me
    so I can be happy again
    before I pass away and am gone.
