Psalms 39:11 Context
9I was dumbe, I opened not my mouth; because thou diddest it. 10Remooue thy stroke away from mee: I am consumed by the blowe of thine hand. 11When thou with rebukes doest correct man for iniquitie, thou makest his beautie to consume away like a moth: surely euery man is vanitie. Selah. 12Heare my prayer, O Lord, and giue eare vnto my crie, hold not thy peace at my teares: for I am a straunger with thee, and a soiourner, as all my fathers were. 13O spare me, that I may recouer strength: before I goe hence, and be no more.
