Psalms  


39 : 1 I said,I willguard my ways,that Imay not sin with my tongue;I willguard my mouth with a muzzle,so long as the wicked are in my presence.
39 : 2 I wasmute and silent;I held my peace to no avail,and my distress grew worse.
39 : 3 Myheart became hot within me.As I mused, the fire burned;then I spoke with my tongue:
39 : 4 OLord,make me know my endand what is the measure of my days;let me know how fleeting I am!
39 : 5 Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,andmy lifetime is as nothing before you.Surelyall mankind stands as a mere breath!Selah
39 : 6 Surely a mangoes about as a shadow!Surely for nothingthey are in turmoil;manheaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!
39 : 7 And now, O Lord, for what do I wait?My hope is in you.
39 : 8 Deliver me from all my transgressions.Do not make me the scorn of the fool!
39 : 9 I am mute; I do not open my mouth,for it is you who have done it.
39 : 10 Remove your stroke from me;I am spent by the hostility of your hand.
39 : 11 When you discipline a manwithrebukes for sin,youconsume like amoth what is dear to him;surely all mankind is a mere breath!Selah
39 : 12 Hear my prayer, OLord,and give ear to my cry;hold not your peace at my tears!For I ama sojourner with you,a guest, like all my fathers.
39 : 13 Look away from me, that I may smile again,before I depart andam no more!
