Psalm 39:1 {To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.} I said,559 I will take heed8104 to my ways,1870 that I sin2398 not with my tongue:3956 I will keep8104 my mouth6310 with a bridle,4269{Heb. a bridle, or muzzle for my mouth} while the wicked7563 is before me. cr 2 I was dumb481 with silence,1747 I held my peace,2814 even from good;2896 and my sorrow3511 was stirred.5916{Heb. troubled} cr 3 My heart3820 was hot2552 within7130 me, while I was musing1901 the fire784 burned:1197 then227 spake1696 I with my tongue,3956 cr 4 LORD,3068 make me to know3045 mine end,7093 and the measure4060 of my days,3117 what it is; that I may know3045 how frail2310{Or, what time I have here} I am. cr 5 Behold, thou hast made5414 my days3117 as an handbreadth;2947 and mine age2465 is as nothing before thee: verily every3605 man120 at his best state5324{Heb. settled} is altogether3605 vanity.1892 Selah.5542 cr 6 Surely every man376 walketh1980 in a vain shew:6754{Heb. image} surely they are disquieted1993 in vain:1892 he heapeth up6651 riches, and knoweth3045 not who shall gather622 them. cr 7 And now, Lord,136 what wait6960 I for? my hope8431 is in thee. cr 8 Deliver5337 me from all my transgressions:6588 make7760 me not the reproach2781 of the foolish.5036 cr 9 I was dumb,481 I opened6605 not my mouth;6310 because thou didst6213 it. cr 10 Remove5493 2794 thy stroke5061 away5493 from me: I am consumed3615 by the blow8409{Heb. conflict} of thine hand.3027 cr 11 When thou with rebukes8433 dost correct3256 man376 for iniquity,5771 thou makest his beauty2530 to consume away4529{Heb. that which is to be desired in him, to melt away} like a moth:6211 surely every man120 is vanity.1892 Selah.5542 cr 12 Hear8085 my prayer,8605 O LORD,3068 and give ear238 unto my cry;7775 hold not thy peace2790 at my tears:1832 for I am a stranger1616 with thee, and a sojourner,8453 as all my fathers1 were. cr 13 O spare8159 me, that I may recover strength,1082 before I go hence,3212 and be no more. cr
