Psa.|39:Title|-|To the choir director, to Jeduthun. A |a|Psalm of David
Psa.|39:1|-|I said, I will keep my ways,So that I do not sin with my |a|tongue;
I will keep a muzzle on my mouthWhen the wicked are before me.
Psa.|39:2|-|I was dumb and silent;I held my peace, even from good;
And my pain was stirred up.
Psa.|39:3|-|My heart was hot within me;While I mused, the fire burned;
I spoke with my tongue:
Psa.|39:4|-|O Jehovah, cause me to know my end,And the measure of my |a|days, what it is.
May I know how transient I am.
Psa.|39:5|-|Behold, You have made my |a|days as mere handbreadths,And my lifetime is as nothing before You;
Surely every man |1|at his best is altogether |2b|vanity. Selah
Psa.|39:6|-|Surely man goes about as a semblance;Surely they bustle about in vain:
He |a|heaps up riches yet knows not|b|Who will gather them.
Psa.|39:7|-|And now what am I waiting for, O Lord?My hope—it is in You.
Psa.|39:8|-|Deliver me from all my transgressions;Do not make me the fool’s reproach.
Psa.|39:9|-|I was |a|dumb; I did not open my mouth;For You have done this.
Psa.|39:10|-|Remove Your plague from me;By the hostility of Your hand I am consumed.
Psa.|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 |a|vanity. Selah
Psa.|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|-|Look away from me, that I may be cheerful,Before I go away and am no more.
