Psalms 39

1 To the choirmaster (for Jeduthun *QK) 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.

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

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

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.

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)

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.

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

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

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

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

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)

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.

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