Psalms 39

1 To the chief music-maker. Of Jeduthun. A Psalm. Of David. I said, I will give attention to my ways, so that my tongue may do no wrong; I will keep my mouth under control, while the sinner is before me.

To the choirmaster (for Jeduthun *Q(K)*) a psalm of David. I said I will guard ways my from sinning with tongue my I will keep to mouth my a muzzle while still [the] wicked [is] to before me.

2 I made no sound, I said no word, even of good; and I was moved with sorrow.

I was dumb silence I was silent from good and pain my it was stirred up.

3 My heart was burning in my breast; while I was deep in thought the fire was lighted; then I said with my tongue,

It became hot heart my - in inner being my in sighing my it burned fire I spoke with tongue my.

4 Lord, give me knowledge of my end, and of the measure of my days, so that I may see how feeble I am.

Make known to me O Yahweh - end my and [the] measure of days my what? [is] it let me know how! fleeting [am] I.

5 You have made my days no longer than a hand's measure; and my years are nothing in your eyes; truly, every man is but a breath. (Selah)

Here! handbreadths - you have made days my and lifespan my [is] like nothing before you [is] only all vanity all humankind [which] stands (Selah)

6 Truly, every man goes on his way like an image; he is troubled for no purpose: he makes a great store of wealth, and has no knowledge of who will get it.

Only an image - he goes about a person only vanity people are in turmoil! he heaps up and not he knows who? [will be] gathering them.

7 And now, Lord, what am I waiting for? my hope is in you.

And now what? do I wait for O Lord hope my [is] to you it.

8 Make me free from all my sins; do not let me be shamed by the man of evil behaviour.

From all transgressions my deliver me a reproach of [the] foolish may not you make me.

9 I was quiet, and kept my mouth shut; because you had done it.

I am dumb not I open mouth my for you you have acted.

10 No longer let your hand be hard on me; I am wasted by the blows of your hand.

Remove from on me plague your from [the] hostility of hand your I I have come to an end.

11 By the weight of your wrath against man's sin, the glory of his form is wasted away; truly every man is but a breath. (Selah)

With rebukes on iniquity - you have disciplined a person and you have melted like moth desired [thing] his [is] only vanity all humankind (Selah)

12 Let my prayer come to your ears, O Lord, and give attention to my cry, make an answer to my weeping: for my time here is short before you, and in a little time I will be gone, like all my fathers.

Hear! prayer my - O Yahweh and cry for help my - give ear to! to tear[s] my may not you be silent for [am] a sojourner I with you a resident alien like all ancestors my.

13 Let your wrath be turned away from me, so that I may be comforted, before I go away from here, and become nothing.

Smear from me so let me be cheerful before I will go and there not [will be] me.
