Psalms 39
1 to/for to conduct (to/for Jeduthun *Q(K)*) melody to/for David to say to keep: guard way: conduct my from to sin in/on/with tongue my to keep: guard to/for lip my muzzle in/on/with still wicked to/for before me
“A psalm of David. For the leader of the music of the Jeduthunites.” I said, I will take heed to my ways, That I may not sin with my tongue; I will keep my mouth with a bridle, While the wicked is before me.
2 be dumb silence be silent from good and pain my to trouble
I was dumb with silence; I spake not even what was good; But my pain was increased.
3 to warm heart my in/on/with entrails: among my in/on/with meditation my to burn: burn fire to speak: speak in/on/with tongue my
My heart was hot within me; In my anguish the fire burst forth, And I spake with my tongue:
4 to know me LORD end my and measure day my what? he/she/it to know what? rejected/fleeting I
LORD, make me to know mine end, And the number of my days, That I may know how frail I am!
5 behold handbreadth to give: make day my and lifetime/world my like/as nothing before you surely all vanity all man to stand (Selah)
Behold, thou hast made my days as a hand-breadth, And my life is as nothing before thee; Yea, every man in his firmest state is altogether vanity. (Pause)
6 surely in/on/with image to go: walk man surely vanity to roar [emph?] to heap and not to know who? to gather them
Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely he disquieteth himself in vain; He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
7 and now what? to await Lord hope my to/for you he/she/it
What, then, O Lord! is my hope? My hope is in thee!
8 from all transgression my to rescue me reproach foolish not to set: make me
Deliver me from all my transgressions; Let me not be the reproach of scoffers!
9 be dumb not to open lip my for you(m. s.) to make: do
Yet I am dumb; I open not my mouth; For thou hast done it!
10 to turn aside: remove from upon me plague your from strife hand your I to end: expend
But remove from me thine infliction; For I am perishing by the blow of thine hand.
11 in/on/with argument upon iniquity: crime to discipline man and to liquefy like/as moth to desire his surely vanity all man (Selah)
When thou with rebukes dost chasten man for iniquity, Thou causest his glory to waste away like a moth! Surely every man is vanity.
12 to hear: hear [emph?] prayer my LORD and cry my to listen [emph?] to(wards) tears my not be quiet for sojourner I with you sojourner like/as all father my
Hear my prayer, O LORD! Give ear to my cry; Be not silent at my tears! For I am but a stranger with thee, A sojourner, as all my fathers were.
13 to gaze from me and be cheerful in/on/with before to go: went and nothing I
O spare me, that I may recover strength, Before I go away, and be no more!
