Psalm 39:11-13
Easy-to-Read Version
11 You punish people for doing wrong to teach them the right way to live.
As a moth destroys cloth, you destroy what people love.
Yes, our lives are like a small cloud that quickly disappears. Selah
12 Lord, hear my prayer!
Listen to the words I cry to you.
Look at my tears.
I am only a traveler passing through this life with you.
Like all my ancestors, I will live here only a short time.[a]
13 Leave me alone[b] and let me be happy
before I am dead and gone.
