39:10 Please stop wounding me! 1
You have almost beaten me to death! 2
39:11 You severely discipline people for their sins; 3
like a moth you slowly devour their strength. 4
Surely all people are a mere vapor. (Selah)
39:12 Hear my prayer, O Lord!
Listen to my cry for help!
Do not ignore my sobbing! 5
For I am dependent on you, like one residing outside his native land;
I am at your mercy, just as all my ancestors were. 6
