Psalms 39:7-13

7“Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.

8Rescue me from all my transgressions; do not make me the taunt of fools.

9I am speechless; I do not open my mouth because of what you have done.

10Remove your torment from me. Because of the force of your hand I am finished.

11You discipline a person with punishment for iniquity, consuming like a moth what is precious to him; yes, every human being is only a vapor.Selah

12“Hear my prayer, Lord, and listen to my cry for help; do not be silent at my tears. For I am here with you as an alien, a temporary resident like all my ancestors.

13Turn your angry gaze from me so that I may be cheered up before I die and am gone.”
