Psalm 39:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 You chastise man with rebukes for sin;
like a moth you consume his treasures.
Every man is but a breath.
Selah
13 Listen to my prayer, Lord, hear my cry;
do not be deaf to my weeping!
For I am with you like a foreigner,
a refugee, like my ancestors.(A)
14 Turn your gaze from me, that I may smile
before I depart to be no more.
