Context of Psalms 39:8
6As we live, we are just like shadows. We work to get things for ourselves. We may get a lot of money, but we do not know who will have it after we die.’ 7So, my Lord, what help can I hope to get? You are the only one that I can really trust! Save me from all my sins! Do not let fools insult me. 9I will not say anything more. I will not open my mouth, because it is you who have punished me! 10Please do not hurt me any more! You have already punished me enough, so that I am almost dead!
