Psalms 39:7-13

7“And now, Lord, for what do I expectantly wait? My hope [my confident expectation] is in You.

8Save me from all my transgressions; Do not make me the scorn and reproach of the [self-righteous, arrogant] fool.

9I am mute, I do not open my mouth, Because it is You who has done it.

10Remove Your plague from me; I am wasting away because of the conflict and opposition of Your hand.

11With rebukes You discipline man for sin; You consume like a moth what is precious to him; Surely every man is a mere breath [a wisp of smoke, a vapor that vanishes]. Selah.

12“Hear my prayer, O Lord, and listen to my cry; Do not be silent at my tears; For I am Your temporary guest, A sojourner like all my fathers.

13O look away from me, that I may smile and again know joy Before I depart and am no more.”
