Psalm 39:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰Stop scourging me,
    since I have been crushed by your heavy hand.
¹¹You rebuke by chastening a man with the consequence of iniquities;
    you destroy what is attractive to him, as one would treat a moth.
        Indeed, every person is a puff of wind.
Interlude

¹²Hear my prayer, Lord,
    pay attention to my cry,
        and do not ignore my tears.
I am an alien in your presence,
    a stranger just like my ancestors were.
