Psalm 39

To the chief Musician, [even] to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 39:1} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 39:2} I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, [even] from good; and my sorrow was stirred. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 39:3} My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: [then] spake I with my tongue, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 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.] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 39:6} Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up [riches,] and knoweth not who shall gather them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 39:7} And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope [is] in thee. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 39:8} Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 39:9} I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst [it. ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 39:10} Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 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.] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 39:13} O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
