Psalm 39:9-11

International Standard Version

⁹ I remain silent;
    I do not open my mouth,
        for you are the one who acted.
¹⁰ Stop scourging me,
    since I have been crushed by your heavy hand.
¹¹ You rebuke by chastening a man with the consequence of iniquities;
    you destroy what is attractive to him, as one would treat a moth.
        Indeed, every person is a puff of wind.
