:1
39:1
I said, I will keep my ways,
So that I do not sin with my
atongue;
I will keep a muzzle on my mouth
When the wicked are before me.
Psa. 39
:2
39:2
I was dumb and silent;
I held my peace,
even from good;
And my pain was stirred up.
Psa. 39
:3
39:3
My heart was hot within me;
While I mused, the fire burned;
I spoke with my tongue:
Psa. 39
:4
39:4
O Jehovah, cause me to know my end,
And the measure of my
adays, what it is.
May I know how transient I am.
Psa. 39
:5
39:5
Behold, You have made my
adays as
mere handbreadths,
And my lifetime is as nothing before You;
Surely every man
1at his best is altogether
2bvanity. Selah
Psa. 39
:6
39:6
Surely man goes about as a semblance;
Surely they bustle about in vain:
He
aheaps up
riches yet knows not
bWho will gather them.
Psa. 39
:7
39:7
And now what am I waiting for, O Lord?
My hope — it is in You.
Psa. 39
:8
39:8
Deliver me from all my transgressions;
Do not make me the fool’s reproach.
Psa. 39
:9
39:9
I was
adumb; I did not open my mouth;
For You have done
this.
Psa. 39
:10
39:10
Remove Your plague from me;
By the hostility of Your hand I am consumed.
Psa. 39
:11
39:11
With rebukes You chasten a man because of iniquity,
And cause what is desirous to him to disappear like a moth.
Surely every man is
avanity. Selah
Psa. 39
:12
39:12
Hear my prayer, O Jehovah;
And give ear to my cry;
Do not hold Your peace at my tears.
For I am a stranger with You,
A sojourner, as all my fathers were.
Psa. 39
:13
39:13
Look away from me, that I may be cheerful,
Before I go away and am no more.
