“Surely every man walks around like a shadow [in a charade]; Surely they make an uproar for nothing; Each one builds up riches, not knowing who will receive them. [Eccl 2:18, 19; 1 Cor 7:31; James 4:14] ¶“And now, Lord, for what do I expectantly wait? My hope [my confident expectation] is in You. “Save me from all my transgressions; Do not make me the scorn and reproach of the [self-righteous, arrogant] fool. “I am mute, I do not open my mouth, Because it is You who has done it. “Remove Your plague from me; I am wasting away because of the conflict and opposition of Your hand. “With rebukes You discipline man for sin; You consume like a moth what is precious to him; Surely every man is a mere breath [a wisp of smoke, a vapor that vanishes]. Selah.

![Psalms 39:6-11 - “Surely every man walks around like a shadow [in a charade];
Surely they make an uproar for nothing;
Each one builds up riches, not knowing who will receive them. [Eccl 2:18, 19; 1 Cor 7:31; James 4:14]
¶“And now, Lord, for what do I expectantly wait?
My hope [my confident expectation] is in You.
“Save me from all my transgressions;
Do not make me the scorn and reproach of the [self-righteous, arrogant] fool.
“I am mute, I do not open my mouth,
Because it is You who has done it.
“Remove Your plague from me;
I am wasting away because of the conflict and opposition of Your hand.
