Chapter 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. |
|
2. |
I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred. |
|
3. |
My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spoke I with my tongue, |
|
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. |
|
5. |
Behold, you have 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. |
|
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. |
|
7. |
And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. |
|
8. |
Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish. |
|
9. |
I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because you didst it. |
|
10. |
Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of your hand. |
|
11. |
When you with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, you makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah. |
|
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. |
|
13. |
O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more. |
