Psalms 39
Ready to read
1
[297] I said, “I will keep watch over my ways So that I do not sin with my tongue; I will keep watch over my mouth as with a muzzle While the wicked are in my presence.”
2
I was mute [298]and silent, I [299]refused to say even something good, And my pain was stirred up.
3
My heart was hot within me, While I was musing the fire burned; Then I spoke with my tongue:
4
“LORD, let me know my end, And what is the extent of my days; Let me know how transient I am.
5
Behold, You have made my days like [300]hand widths, And my lifetime as nothing in Your sight; Certainly all mankind standing is [301]a mere breath. Selah
6
Certainly every person walks around as [302]a fleeting shadow; They certainly 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
Save me from all my wrongdoings; Do not make me an object of reproach for 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 [303]perishing.
11
With rebukes You punish a person for wrongdoing; You consume like a moth what is precious to him; Certainly all mankind is mere breath! Selah
12
“Hear my prayer, LORD, and listen to my cry for help; Do not be silent to my tears; For I am a stranger with You, One who lives abroad, like all my fathers.
13
Turn Your eyes away from me, that I may become cheerful again Before I depart and am no more.”
