PSA-39:1 To the chief Musician, [even] to Jeduthun, A Psalm of

David. I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with

my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked

is before me.

PSA-39:2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, [even] from

good; and my sorrow was stirred.

PSA-39:3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire

burned: [then] spake I with my tongue,

PSA-39:4 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my

days, what it [is; that] I may know how frail I [am].

PSA-39:5 Behold, thou hast made my days [as] an handbreadth; and

mine age [is] as nothing before thee: verily every man at his

best state [is] altogether vanity. Selah.

PSA-39:6 Surely every man walketh in a vain show: surely they

are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not

who shall gather them.

PSA-39:7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope [is] in thee.

PSA-39:8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the

reproach of the foolish.

PSA-39:9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst

[it].

PSA-39:10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the

blow of thine hand.

PSA-39:11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity,

thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every

man [is] vanity. Selah.

PSA-39:12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold

not thy peace at my tears: for I [am] a stranger with thee,

[and] a sojourner, as all my fathers [were].

PSA-39:13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go

hence, and be no more.
