Psalms 39:3
chevron_left
chevron_right
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.
My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned:
then
spake I with my tongue,
4
L
ORD
, 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, 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.
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 thou didst
it
.
10
Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
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.
12
Hear my prayer, O
L
ORD
, 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.
