Psalms 39

1 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.

For victorie, to Iditum, the song of Dauid. I seide, Y schal kepe my weies; that Y trespasse not in my tunge. I settide kepyng to my mouth; whanne a synnere stood ayens me.

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

I was doumb, and was mekid ful gretli, and was stille fro goodis; and my sorewe was renulid.

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

Myn herte was hoot with ynne me; and fier schal brenne out in my thenkyng.

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

I spak in my tunge; Lord, make thou myn eende knowun to me. And the noumbre of my daies what it is; that Y wite, what failith to me.

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

Lo! thou hast set my daies mesurable; and my substaunce is as nouyt bifor thee. Netheles al vanytee; ech man lyuynge.

6 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.

Netheles a man passith in ymage; but also he is disturblid veynli. He tresorith; and he noot, to whom he `schal gadere tho thingis.

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

And now which is myn abiding? whether not the Lord? and my substaunce is at thee.

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

Delyuere thou me fro alle my wickidnessis; thou hast youe me schenschip to the vnkunnynge.

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

I was doumbe, and openyde not my mouth; for thou hast maad,

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

remoue thou thi woundis fro me.

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

Fro the strengthe of thin hond Y failide in blamyngis; for wickidnesse thou hast chastisid man. And thou madist his lijf to faile as an yreyne; netheles ech man is disturblid in veyn.

12 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.

Lord, here thou my preier and my bisechyng; perseyue thou with eeris my teeris.

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

Be thou not stille, for Y am a comelyng at thee; and a pilgrime, as alle my fadris. Foryyue thou to me, that Y be refreischid, bifor that Y go; and Y schal no more be.
