Psalm 39:12-13

Expanded Bible

¹² “Lord, hear my prayer,
    and listen to my cry.
    Do not ignore my tears.
I am like a ·visitor [sojourner; wanderer; resident alien] with you.
    Like my ·ancestors [fathers], I’m only ·here a short time [a temporary resident].
¹³ Leave me alone so I can be happy
    before I leave and am no more.”
