Psalms 39

1 For the end, a Song of David, to Idithun. I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I set a guard on my mouth, while the sinner stood in my presence.

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, and humbled myself, and kept silence from good [words]; and my grief was renewed.

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

3 My heart grew hot within me, and a fire would kindle in my (meditation) I spoke with my tongue,

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

4 O Lord, make me to know mine end, and the number of my days, what it is; that I may know what I lack.

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 Behold, you have made my days old; and my existence [is] as nothing before you: nay, every man living [is] altogether vanity. (Pause)

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 Surely man walks in a shadow; nay, he is disquieted in vain: he lays up treasures, and knows not for whom he shall gather them.

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 [is] my expectation? [is it] not the Lord? and my ground [of hope] is with you. (Pause)

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

8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: you have made me a reproach to the foolish.

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

9 I was dumb, and opened not my mouth; for you are he that made me.

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

10 Remove your scourges from me: I have fainted by reason of the strength of your hand.

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

11 You chasten man with rebukes for iniquity, and you make his life to consume away like a spider's web; nay, every man is disquieted in vain. (Pause)

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 O Lord, listen to my prayer and my supplication: attend to my tears: be not silent, for I am a sojourner in the land, and a stranger, as all my fathers [were].

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 Spare me, that I may be refreshed, before I depart, and be no more.

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