Context of Psalms 39:8
6Surely people go through life as mere ghosts. Surely they accumulate worthless wealth without knowing who will eventually haul it away.” 7But now, O Lord, upon what am I relying? You are my only hope! Deliver me from all my sins of rebellion! Do not make me the object of fools’ insults! 9I am silent and cannot open my mouth because of what you have done. 10Please stop wounding me! You have almost beaten me to death!
