Psalm 39:7-11

Common English Bible

⁷ So now, Lord, what should I be waiting for?
        My hope is set on you.
⁸ Deliver me from all my sins;
    don’t make me some foolish person’s joke.
⁹ I am completely silent; I won’t open my mouth
    because you have acted.
¹⁰ Get this plague of yours off me!
    I’m being destroyed by the blows from your fist.
¹¹ You discipline people for their sin, punishing them;
    like a moth, you ruin what they treasure.
        Yes, a human life is just a puff of air! Selah
