Psalm 39:11-13
EasyEnglish Bible
11 When people do wrong things,
you warn them and you punish them.
You destroy their valuable things,
like a moth eats cloth![a]
Yes, our lives are only a breath!
Selah.
12 Lord, please hear my prayer.
Listen to me when I call to you for help.
Do not turn away from me when I weep.
I need your help,
like a foreign person who lives away from his home.
I live on earth as a stranger,
like all my ancestors did.
13 Stop being angry with me,
so that I can be happy again before I die.
