Psalm 39:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ I keep silent. I don’t open my mouth.
    You are the one who has caused all this to happen.
¹⁰ Please stop beating me.
    I’m about to die from the blows of your hand.
¹¹ You correct and punish people for their sin.
    Then, just as a moth eats cloth, you destroy their wealth.
    No one lasts any longer than a breath.
