Psalms 39:9-12
-
9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
-
10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
-
11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.
-
12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
