Psalm 39:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ Yes, people wander around like shadows;
    yes, they hustle and bustle, but pointlessly;
        they don’t even know who will get the wealth they’ve amassed.
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.
