Psalm 39:11-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹¹With stern warnings you discipline people for their crimes.
Like a moth you eat away at what is dear to them.
Certainly, everyone is like a whisper in the wind. Selah

¹²Listen to my prayer, O Lord.
Open your ear to my cry for help.

¹³Look away from me so that I may smile again
before I go away and am no more.
