Psalm 39:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ I am quiet; I do not open my mouth,
    because you are the one who has done this.
¹⁰ ·Quit punishing me [^LTurn your blows/scourge away from me];
    ·your beating is about to kill me [^LI am exhausted/finished from the hostility/beatings of your hand].
¹¹ You correct and punish people for their sins;
    like a moth, you destroy what they ·love [covet; desire].
Everyone’s life is only a ·breath [vapor; Eccl. 1:2]. ·Selah [Interlude]
