Psalm 39:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 I should have been dumb, and not have opened my mouth, because [a]thou didst it.
10 Take thy plague away from me: for I am consumed by the stroke of thine hand.
11 When thou with rebukes dost chastise man for iniquity, thou as a moth [b]makest his [c]beauty to consume: surely every man is vanity. Selah.
