Psalms 39:7-11

¶“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.
