Psalms 39
1 “To the chief musician, to Jeduthun, a psalm of David.” I said, I will guard my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will guard my mouth with a muzzle, while the wicked 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 was dumb in deep silence, I was quite still, even from [speaking] good; but my pain was greatly excited;
I was dumb silence I was silent from good and pain my it was stirred up.
3 My heart was hot within me, in my self-communing there burnt a fire: [then] spoke I with my tongue,
It became hot heart my - in inner being my in sighing my it burned fire I spoke with tongue my.
4 Let me know, O Lord, my end, and the measure of my days, what it is: I wish to know when I shall cease to be.
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 Behold, measured out with the span hast thou made my days; and my whole duration is nothing before thee: yea, as nothing but vanity doth every man stand here. (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 As nothing but a shadowy image doth man walk about, yea, for vanity only do all make a noise: he heapeth up his gains, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
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, what shall I wait for, O Lord? my hope is in thee.
And now what? do I wait for O Lord hope my [is] to you it.
8 From all my transgressions deliver thou me: render me not the object of reproach of the worthless.
From all transgressions my deliver me a reproach of [the] foolish may not you make me.
9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou hadst done it.
I am dumb not I open mouth my for you you have acted.
10 Remove thou thy plague away from me: from the blows of thy hand am I consumed.
Remove from on me plague your from [the] hostility of hand your I I have come to an end.
11 When thou with corrections chastisest man for iniquity, thou causest his excellence to melt away as [if eaten by] the moth: yea, nothing but vanity is every man. (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 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; be not silent at my tears; for a stranger am I with thee, a sojourner, 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 Leave off from me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and am no more.
Smear from me so let me be cheerful before I will go and there not [will be] me.
