Psalm 39:6
Surely every man goes about like a phantom; surely he bustles in vain; he heaps up riches not knowing who will haul them away.
Context
6“Surely every man walks about as a phantom;
         Surely they make an uproar for nothing;
         He amasses riches and does not know who will gather them.

7“And now, Lord, for what do I wait?
         My hope is in You.

8“Deliver me from all my transgressions;
         Make me not the reproach of the foolish.

9“I have become mute, I do not open my mouth,
         Because it is You who have done it.

10“Remove Your plague from me;
         Because of the opposition of Your hand I am perishing.

11“With reproofs You chasten a man for iniquity;
         You consume as a moth what is precious to him;
         Surely every man is a mere breath.

Selah.

12“Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry;
         Do not be silent at my tears;
         For I am a stranger with You,
         A sojourner like all my fathers.

13“Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may smile again
         Before I depart and am no more.”
