Psalm 39:10-13 English Standard Version (ESV)

10. Remove your stroke from me;I am spent by the hostility of your hand.

11. When you discipline a manwith rebukes for sin,you consume like a moth what is dear to him; surely all mankind is a mere breath! Selah

12. “Hear my prayer, O Lord,and give ear to my cry;hold not your peace at my tears!For I am a sojourner with you, a guest, like all my fathers.

13. Look away from me, that I may smile again, before I depart and am no more!”
