Psalm 39:12-13

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹² “Hear my prayer, O Lord,
    and give ear to my cry;
    do not hold your peace at my tears.
For I am your passing guest,
    an alien, like all my forebears.^(A)
13 Turn your gaze away from me, that I may smile again,
    before I depart and am no more.”^(B)
