Psalm 39:12

The Fleeting Nature Of Life

¹¹ “With reproofs You chasten a man for iniquity;
You consume as a moth what is precious to him;
Surely every man is a mere breath. Selah.
¹² “Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear to my cry;
Do not be silent at my tears;
For I am a stranger with You,
A sojourner like all my fathers.
¹³ “Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may smile again
Before I depart and am no more.”
