Psalm 39:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ Quit punishing me.
    Your beating is about to kill me.
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.
