Psalms 39:11-13 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

11. You correct and punish people for their sins.Like a moth, you destroy what they love.Everyone’s life is only a breath. Selah

12. “Lord, hear my prayer.Listen to my cry.Do not ignore my tears.I am like a visitor with you.Like my ancestors, I’m only here a short time.

13. Leave me alone so I can be happy.Soon I will leave and be no more.”
