Psalm 39:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ You correct and punish people for their sins.
    Like a moth, you destroy what they love.
    Everyone’s life is only a breath. Selah
¹² “Lord, hear my prayer.
    Listen to my cry.
    Do not ignore my tears.
I am like a visitor with you.
    Like my ancestors, I’m only here a short time.
¹³ Leave me alone so I can be happy.
    Soon I will leave and be no more.”
