Psalm 39:11-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
11 “You chastise mortals
in punishment for sin,
consuming like a moth what is dear to them;
surely everyone is a mere breath. Selah(A)
12 “Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and give ear to my cry;
do not hold your peace at my tears.
For I am your passing guest,
an alien, like all my forebears.(B)
13 Turn your gaze away from me, that I may smile again,
before I depart and am no more.”(C)
