The King James Version Bible

Psalms 39:9-12

  1. I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.

  2. Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
