Psalm 39:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ I will not open my mouth.
    I will not say anything.
    You did what should have been done.
¹⁰ But please stop punishing me.
    You will destroy me if you do not stop.
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
