Psalms 39:11

SinDeath and loss

9 I have become mute; I do not open my mouth because of what You have done.

10 Remove Your scourge from me; I am perishing by the force of Your hand.

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.

13 Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may again be cheered before I depart and am no more.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
