Psalm 39:9-11

Revised Standard Version

⁹ I am dumb, I do not open my mouth;
    for it is thou who hast done it.
¹⁰ Remove thy stroke from me;
    I am spent by the blows^[a] of thy hand.
¹¹ When thou dost chasten man
    with rebukes for sin,
thou dost consume like a moth what is dear to him;
    surely every man is a mere breath!Selah
