‏ Psalms 39:11

v. 11: David recognizes that God’s correction is just. He says, “When with rebukes you correct man for iniquity, you make his beauty melt away like a moth; surely every man is vapor”. David understands that God punishes people for their sins, and that no one can stand against God’s power. Our health and beauty can disappear quickly, just like a moth eats away at a garment. This shows how weak and temporary human life is.
