Psalms 39 — Context

You have made my days no longer than a hand's measure; and my years are nothing in your eyes; truly, every man is but a breath. (Selah.)

Truly, every man goes on his way like an image; he is troubled for no purpose: he makes a great store of wealth, and has no knowledge of who will get it.

And now, Lord, what am I waiting for? my hope is in you.

Make me free from all my sins; do not let me be shamed by the man of evil behaviour.

I was quiet, and kept my mouth shut; because you had done it.

No longer let your hand be hard on me; I am wasted by the blows of your hand.

By the weight of your wrath against man's sin, the glory of his form is wasted away; truly every man is but a breath. (Selah.)
