Psalm 39:6-8
Easy-to-Read Version

6 Our life is like an image in a mirror.[a]
    We rush through life collecting things,
    but we don’t know who will get them after we die.

7 So, Lord, what hope do I have?
    You are my hope!
8 Save me from the bad things I did.
    Don’t let me be treated like a fool.
