Psalm 39:4-13 (New Living Translation) 4 LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered, and that my life is fleeing away. 5 My life is no longer than the width of my hand. An entire lifetime is just a moment to you; human existence is but a breath. Interlude 6 We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth for someone else to spend. 7 And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you. 8 Rescue me from my rebellion, for even fools mock me when I rebel. 9 I am silent before you; I wont say a word. For my punishment is from you. 10 Please, dont punish me anymore! I am exhausted by the blows from your hand. 11 When you discipline people for their sins, their lives can be crushed like the life of a moth. Human existence is as frail as breath. 12 Hear my prayer, O LORD! Listen to my cries for help! Dont ignore my tears. For I am your guest -- a traveler passing through, as my ancestors were before me. 13 Spare me so I can smile again before I am gone and exist no more.
