Psalm 39:11-13

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹When thou dost chasten man
with rebukes for sin,
thou dost consume like a moth what is dear to him;
surely every man is a mere breath!Selah

¹²“Hear my prayer, O Lord,
    and give ear to my cry;
    hold not thy peace at my tears!
For I am thy passing guest,
    a sojourner, like all my fathers.
¹³Look away from me, that I may know gladness,
    before I depart and be no more!”
