Psalm 39:6-8
American Standard Version
6 Surely every man walketh [a]in a vain show;
Surely they are disquieted [b]in vain:
He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
7 And now, Lord, what wait I for?
My hope is in thee.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions:
Make me not the reproach of the foolish.
