39:1 |
I said, "I will guard my ways that I may not sin with my tongue; I will keep a muzzle on my mouth as long as the wicked are in my presence."
|
39:2 |
I was silent and still; I held my peace to no avail; my distress grew worse,
|
39:3 |
my heart became hot within me. While I mused, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:
|
39:4 |
"LORD, let me know my end, and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is.
|
39:5 |
You have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing in your sight. Surely everyone stands as a mere breath. Selah
|
39:6 |
Surely everyone goes about like a shadow. Surely for nothing they are in turmoil; they heap up, and do not know who will gather.
|
39:7 |
"And now, O Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.
|
39:8 |
Deliver me from all my transgressions. Do not make me the scorn of the fool.
|
39:9 |
I am silent; I do not open my mouth, for it is you who have done it.
|
39:10 |
Remove your stroke from me; I am worn down by the blows of your hand.
|
39:11 |
"You chastise mortals in punishment for sin, consuming like a moth what is dear to them; surely everyone is a mere breath. Selah
|
39:12 |
"Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry; do not hold your peace at my tears. For I am your passing guest, an alien, like all my forebears.
|
39:13 |
Turn your gaze away from me, that I may smile again, before I depart and am no more."
