Psalms 39 (CSB)

Psalms Chapter 39 (CSB)

Compare with Version:

¹ For the choir director, for Jeduthun. A psalm of David. [1] I said, “I will guard my ways so that I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle as long as the wicked are in my presence.” ⓔ

² I was speechless and quiet; I kept silent, even from speaking good, and my pain intensified. ⓕ

³ My heart grew hot within me; as I mused, a fire burned. ⓖ I spoke with my tongue:

⁴ “LORD, make me aware of my end and the number of my days so that I will know how short-lived I am. ⓗ

⁵ In fact, you have made my days just inches long, and my life span is as nothing to you. Yes, every human being stands as only a vapor. ⓘ Selah

⁶ Yes, a person goes about like a mere shadow. Indeed, they rush around in vain, gathering possessions without knowing who will get them. ⓙ

⁷ “Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you. ⓚ

⁸ Rescue me from all my transgressions; do not make me the taunt of fools. ⓛ

⁹ I am speechless; I do not open my mouth because of what you have done. ⓜ

¹⁰ Remove your torment from me. Because of the force of your hand I am finished. ⓝ

¹¹ You discipline a person with punishment for iniquity, consuming like a moth what is precious to him; ⓐ yes, every human being is only a vapor. ⓑ Selah

¹² “Hear my prayer, LORD, and listen to my cry for help; do not be silent at my tears. ⓒ For I am here with you as an alien, a temporary resident like all my ancestors. ⓓ

¹³ Turn your angry gaze from me so that I may be cheered up before I die and am gone.” ⓔ
