Psalms 39:6-13

⁶Then we disappear like a shadow does. It seems that all that we do is for nothing/useless. We sometimes get a lot of money, but we do not know who will get it after we die.

⁷So now, Yahweh, if I expect RHQ to receive blessings from other people, I will be disappointed. You are the only one from whom I confidently expect to receive blessings.

⁸Save me from being punished for all the sins that I have committed. And do not allow foolish people to make fun of me.

⁹I did not say anything when you punished me, because I knew that you were the one who caused me to suffer.

¹⁰But now, please stop punishing me! If you do not do that, I am about to die because of the ways that you SYN have struck/afflicted me.

¹¹When you rebuke someone and punish him for the sin that he has committed, you destroy the things that ◄he loves/are precious to him►, like moths' larva destroy clothing. Our lives disappear like a puff of wind.

¹²Yahweh, listen to me while I pray; pay attention to me while I cry out to you. Help me while I am crying. I am here on the earth for only a short time, like all my ancestors.

¹³Now please leave me alone, and do not punish me anymore in order that I may smile and be happy for a while before I die. EUP, DOU”
