(Psa 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.
(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 shew: 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.
