Psalms 39:10
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions; do not make me the reproach of fools.
9 I have become mute; I do not open my mouth because of what You have done.
Remove Your scourge from me; I am perishing by the force of Your hand.
11 You discipline and correct a man for his iniquity, consuming like a moth what he holds dear; surely each man is but a vapor. Selah
12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping. For I am a foreigner dwelling with You, a stranger like all my fathers.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
