39:1 |
I said, "I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth as long as the wicked are in my presence."
|
39:2 |
But when I was silent and still, not even saying anything good, my anguish increased.
|
39:3 |
My heart grew hot within me, and as I meditated, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:
|
39:4 |
"Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life.
|
39:5 |
You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man's life is but a breath. ((Selah))
|
39:6 |
Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro: He bustles about, but only in vain; he heaps up wealth, not knowing who will get it.
|
39:7 |
"But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.
|
39:8 |
Save me from all my transgressions; do not make me the scorn of fools.
|
39:9 |
I was silent; I would not open my mouth, for you are the one who has done this.
|
39:10 |
Remove your scourge from me; I am overcome by the blow of your hand.
|
39:11 |
You rebuke and discipline men for their sin; you consume their wealth like a moth-- each man is but a breath. ((Selah))
|
39:12 |
"Hear my prayer, O LORD, listen to my cry for help; be not deaf to my weeping. For I dwell with you as an alien, a stranger, as all my fathers were.
|
39:13 |
Look away from me, that I may rejoice again before I depart and am no more."
