King James Version
Psalms • Chapter 39
1
For the conductor, with stringed instruments; a psalm of David.
2
I said, "I will guard my ways so that I do not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle while the wicked are before me."
3
I was silent; I held my peace regarding good, and my pain was stirred up.
4
My heart is hot within me; as I ponder, a fire burns; I speak with my tongue.
5
Make known to me, O Yahweh, my end and the measure of my days; what is it? Let me know how fleeting I am.
6
Behold, you have set my hands as nothing against you; yet all vanity, all mankind stands forever.
7
But in the image, a man will walk; only vanity they will collect, and they will not know who is gathering them.
8
And now, what I have hoped for, O Lord, is what I wait for.
9
From all my transgressions, deliver me; do not let the reproach of a fool come upon me.
10
I have been silent; I will not open my mouth, for you have done it.
11
Remove from upon me your hand; I am consumed by the burden of your blows.
12
In rebuking for sin, you will correct a man, and you will make all his desires vain; truly, all mankind is vanity.
13
Hear my prayer, O Yahweh, and listen to my cry; do not be silent, for I am a foreigner with you, a resident as all my ancestors.
