39I said, "I will be careful about what I do and will not let my tongue make me sin; I will not say anything while evil people are near."H5329H3038H4210H1732H559H8104H1870H2398H3956H8104H6310H4269H75632I kept quiet, not saying a word, not even about anything good! But my suffering only grew worse,H481H1747H2814H2896H3511H59163and I was overcome with anxiety. The more I thought, the more troubled I became; I could not keep from asking:H3820H2552H7130H1901H784H1197H227H1696H39564" LORD, how long will I live? When will I die? Tell me how soon my life will end."H3068H3045H7093H4060H3117H3045H23105How short you have made my life! In your sight my lifetime seems nothing. Indeed every living being is no more than a puff of wind,H5414H3117H2947H2465H3605H120H5324H3605H1892H55426no more than a shadow. All we do is for nothing; we gather wealth, but don't know who will get it.H376H1980H6754H1993H1892H6651H3045H6227What, then, can I hope for, Lord? I put my hope in you.H136H6960H84318Save me from all my sins, and don't let fools make fun of me.H5337H6588H7760H2781H50369I will keep quiet, I will not say a word, for you are the one who made me suffer like this.H481H6605H6310H621310Don't punish me any more! I am about to die from your blows.H5493H5061H5493H3615H8409H302711You punish our sins by your rebukes, and like a moth you destroy what we love. Indeed we are no more than a puff of wind!H8433H3256H376H5771H2530H4529H6211H120H1892H554212Hear my prayer, LORD, and listen to my cry; come to my aid when I weep. Like all my ancestors I am only your guest for a little while.H8085H8605H3068H238H7775H2790H1832H1616H8453H113Leave me alone so that I may have some happiness before I go away and am no more.H8159H1082H3212
