You have abused concepts and words,
Therefore they no longer present refuge,
What if everything you reasoned was true?
Imagine how sad that would be.
Psalm 39
I am silent and do not open my mouth
Because you are the one who did this
Take your plague away from me;
I am ravaged by the touch of your hand.
You chastise man with rebukes for sin;
Like a moth you consume his treasures.
Every man is but a breath.
Listen to my prayer,
Hear my cry;
Do not be deaf to my weeping!
For I am with you like a foreigner,
A refugee, like my ancestors.
Turn your gaze from me, that I may smile.
Before I depart to be no more.
