Psalm 39:12

The Fleeting Nature Of Life

¹¹ You discipline a man with punishment for sin,
consuming like a moth what is precious to him;
every man is only a vapor.Selah ¹² “Hear my prayer, Lord,
and listen to my cry for help;
do not be silent at my tears.
For I am a foreigner residing with You,
a temporary resident like all my fathers.
¹³ Turn Your angry gaze from me
so that I may be cheered up
before I die and am gone.”
