Psalms 39:7-13

7“And now, Lord, for what do I wait? My 1hope is in You.8 2Deliver me from all my transgressions; Make me not the 3reproach of the foolish.9I have become 4mute, I do not open my mouth, Because it is 5You who have done it.10 6Remove Your plague from me; Because of 7the opposition of Your hand I am 8perishing.11With 9reproofs You chasten a man for iniquity; You 10consume as a moth what is precious to him; Surely 11every man is a mere breath. Selah.

12“12Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear to my cry; Do not be silent 13at my tears; For I am 14a stranger with You, A 15sojourner like all my fathers.13 16Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may 17smile again Before I depart and am no more.”
