chapter_Psalm_39
Psalm 39:1: To the Overseer, to Jeduthun. &#8212; A Psalm of David. I have said, 'I observe my ways, Against sinning with my tongue, I keep for my mouth a curb, while the wicked is before me.' Psalm 39:2: I was dumb with silence, I kept silent from good, and my pain is excited. Psalm 39:3: Hot is my heart within me, In my meditating doth the fire burn, I have spoken with my tongue. Psalm 39:4: Cause me to know, O Jehovah, mine end, And the measure of my days &#8212; what it is,' I know how frail I am. Psalm 39:5: Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age is as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity is every man set up. Selah. Psalm 39:6: Only, in an image doth each walk habitually, Only, in vain, they are disquieted, He heapeth up and knoweth not who gathereth them. Psalm 39:7: And, now, what have I expected? O Lord, my hope &#8212; it is of Thee. Psalm 39:8: From all my transgressions deliver me, A reproach of the fool make me not. Psalm 39:9: I have been dumb, I open not my mouth, Because Thou &#8212; Thou hast done it. Psalm 39:10: Turn aside from off me Thy stroke, From the striving of Thy hand I have been consumed. Psalm 39:11: With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man, And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity is every man. Selah. Psalm 39:12: Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And to my cry give ear, Unto my tear be not silent, For a sojourner I am with Thee, A settler like all my fathers. Psalm 39:13: Look from me, and I brighten up before I go and am not!
