Psalms 39 (kjv)

To the chief Musician^H5329, even to Jeduthun^H3038, A Psalm^H4210 of David^H1732. I said^H559, I will take heed^H8104 to my ways^H1870, that I sin^H2398 not with my tongue^H3956: I will keep^H8104 my mouth^H6310 with a bridle^H4269, while the wicked^H7563 is before me.²I was dumb^H481 with silence^H1747, I held my peace^H2814, even from good^H2896; and my sorrow^H3511 was stirred^H5916.³My heart^H3820 was hot^H2552 within^H7130 me, while I was musing^H1901 the fire^H784 burned^H1197: then^H227 spake^H1696 I with my tongue^H3956,

⁴LORD^H3068, make me to know^H3045 mine end^H7093, and the measure^H4060 of my days^H3117, what it is; that I may know^H3045 how frail^H2310 I am.⁵Behold, thou hast made^H5414 my days^H3117 as an handbreadth^H2947; and mine age^H2465 is as nothing before thee: verily every^H3605 man^H120 at his best state^H5324 is altogether^H3605 vanity^H1892. Selah^H5542.⁶Surely every man^H376 walketh^H1980 in a vain shew^H6754: surely they are disquieted^H1993 in vain^H1892: he heapeth up^H6651 riches, and knoweth^H3045 not who shall gather^H622 them.

⁷And now, Lord^H136, what wait^H6960 I for? my hope^H8431 is in thee.⁸Deliver^H5337 me from all my transgressions^H6588: make^H7760 me not the reproach^H2781 of the foolish^H5036.⁹I was dumb^H481, I opened^H6605 not my mouth^H6310; because thou didst^H6213 it.

¹⁰Remove^H5493 thy stroke^H5061 away^H5493 from me: I am consumed^H3615 by the blow^H8409 of thine hand^H3027.¹¹When thou with rebukes^H8433 dost correct^H3256 man^H376 for iniquity^H5771, thou makest his beauty^H2530 to consume away^H4529 like a moth^H6211: surely every man^H120 is vanity^H1892. Selah^H5542.¹²Hear^H8085 my prayer^H8605, O LORD^H3068, and give ear^H238 unto my cry^H7775; hold not thy peace^H2790 at my tears^H1832: for I am a stranger^H1616 with thee, and a sojourner^H8453, as all my fathers^H1 were.¹³O spare^H8159 me, that I may recover strength^H1082, before I go hence^H3212, and be no more.
