Psalms 39

39
For the Music Director. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1I said, “I will take heed of my ways
so that I do not sin with my tongue;
I will keep my mouth muzzled
while the wicked are before me.”
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 I was speechless in silence;
I was silent to no avail,
but my anguish was stirred up.
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 My heart was hot within me;
while I was musing, the fire burned,
then I spoke with my tongue:
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8Lord, make me to know my end,
and what is the measure of my days,
that I may know how transient I am.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 Indeed, You have made my days as a handbreadth,
and my age is as nothing before You;
indeed every man at his best is as a breath.” Selah
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 Surely every man walks in a mere shadow;
surely he goes as a breath;
he heaps up riches, and does not know who will gather them.
7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 Now, Lord, what do I wait for?
My hope is in You.
8#Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 Deliver me from all my transgressions;
do not make me the reproach of the foolish.
9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 I was speechless, I did not open my mouth,
because You did it.
10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 Remove Your blow from me;
I am consumed by the hostility of Your hand.
11#Ps 42:5; 43:5 When with rebukes You correct a man for iniquity,
You consume like a moth what is dear to him;
surely every man is vapor. Selah
12Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and give ear to my cry;
do not be silent at my tears,
for I am a stranger with You,
and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
13Turn Your gaze of displeasure from me, that I may smile,
before I go away and am no more.
