Psalms 39:6-13

⁶Nevertheless a man passeth in an image; but also he is troubled vainly. He treasureth; and he know not, to whom he shall gather those things.

⁷And now which is mine abiding? whether not the Lord? and my substance is at thee.

⁸Deliver thou me from all my wickednesses; thou hast given me as a shame to the unknowing.

⁹I was dumb, and opened not my mouth; for thou hast made this happen,

¹⁰remove thou thy wounds from me. From the strength of thine hand I failed in blamings;

¹¹for wickedness thou hast chastised a man. And thou madest his life to fail as a spider; nevertheless each man is troubled in vain.

¹²Lord, hear thou my prayer, and my beseeching; perceive thou with ears my tears. Be thou not still, for I am a comeling with thee; and a pilgrim, as all my fathers.

¹³Forgive thou to me, that I be refreshed, before that I go; and I shall no more be.
