PSALM 39
1 For victory, to Jeduthun, the psalm of David. I said, I shall keep my ways; that I trespass not in my tongue. I setted [or put] keeping to my mouth; when a sinner stood against me.
2 I was dumb, and I was meeked full greatly, and was still, even from goods; and my sorrow was renewed.
3 Mine heart was hot within me; and fire shall burn out in my thinking. I spake in my tongue;
4 Lord, make thou mine end known to me. And the number of my days, what it is; that I know, what faileth to me.
5 Lo! thou hast set [or put] my days measurable; and my substance is as nought before thee. Nevertheless all vanity; each man living.
6 Nevertheless a man passeth in an image; but also he is troubled vainly. He treasureth; and he know not, to whom he shall gather those things.
7 And now which is mine abiding? whether not the Lord? and my substance is at thee.
8 Deliver thou me from all my wickednesses; thou hast given me as a shame to the unknowing.
9 I was dumb, and opened not my mouth; for thou hast made this happen,
10 remove thou thy wounds from me. From the strength of thine hand I failed in blamings;
11 for wickedness thou hast chastised [a] man. And thou madest his life to fail as a spider; nevertheless each man is troubled in vain.
12 Lord, hear thou my prayer, and my beseeching; perceive thou with ears my tears. Be thou not still, for I am a comeling with thee; and a pilgrim, as all my fathers.
13 Forgive thou to me, that I be refreshed, before that I go; and I shall no more be.
