  39:1 ¶
[[For the end, a Song of David, to Jeduthun{gr.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. |
|
39:1 ¶
[[To the chief Musician,ºº
[even] to Jeduthun,º
A Psalmº
of David.]]º
I said,ºº
I will take heedºº
to my ways,º
that I sinºº
notºº
with my tongue:º
I will keepºº
my mouthº
with a bridle,º
whileº
the wickedº
is beforeº
me. |
|
39:2
I was dumb, and humbled myself, and kept silence from good [words]; and my grief was renewed. |
39:2
I was dumbºº
with silence,º
I held my peace,ºº
[even] from good;ºº
and my sorrowº
was stirred.ºº |
|
39:3
My heart grew hot within me, and a fire would kindle in my meditation: I spoke with my tongue, |
39:3
My heartº
was hotºº
withinº
me, while I was musingº
the fireº
burned:ºº
[then]º
spakeºº
I with my tongue,º |
|
39:4
O Lord, make me to know mine end, and the number of my days, what it is; that I may know what I lack. |
39:4
Yahweh,º
make me to knowºº
mine end,º
and the measureº
of my days,º
whatº
itº
[is; that] I may knowºº
howº
frailº
Iº
[am]. |
|
39:5
Behold, thou hast made my days old; and my existence [is] as nothing before thee: nay, every man living [is] altogether vanity. Pause. |
39:5
Behold,º
thou hast madeºº
my daysº
[as] an handbreadth;º
and mine ageº
[is] as nothingº
beforeº
thee: verilyº
everyº
manº
at his best stateºº
[is] altogetherº
vanity.º
Selah.º |
|
39:6
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. |
39:6
Surelyº
every manº
walkethºº
in a vain shew:º
surelyº
they are disquietedºº
in vain:º
he heapeth upºº
[riches], and knowethºº
notº
whoº
shall gatherºº
them. |
|
39:7
And now what [is] my expectation? [is it] not the Lord? and my ground [of hope] is with thee. Pause. |
39:7
And now,º
Yahweh,º
whatº
waitºº
I for? my hopeº
[is] in thee. |
|
39:8
Deliver me from all my transgressions: thou hast made me a reproach to the foolish. |
39:8
Deliverºº
me from allºº
my transgressions:º
makeºº
me notº
the reproachº
of the foolish.º |
|
39:9
I was dumb, and opened not my mouth; for thou art he that made me. |
39:9
I was dumb,ºº
I openedºº
notº
my mouth;º
becauseº
thouº
didstºº
[it]. |
|
39:10
Remove thy scourges from me: I have fainted by reason of the strength of thine hand. |
39:10
Removeºº
thy strokeº
awayºº
fromºº
me: Iº
am consumedºº
by the blowºº
of thine hand.º |
|
39:11
Thou chastenest man with rebukes for iniquity, and thou makest his life to consume away like a spider's web; nay, every man is disquieted in vain. Pause. |
39:11
When thou with rebukesº
dost correctºº
manº
forº
iniquity,º
thou makest his beautyºº
to consume awayºº
like a moth:º
surelyº
everyº
manº
[is] vanity.º
Selah.º |
|
39:12
O Lord, hearken 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]. |
39:12
Hearºº
my prayer,º
O Yahweh,º
and give earºº
unto my cry;º
hold not thy peaceººº
atº
my tears:º
forº
Iº
[am] a strangerº
withº
thee, [and] a sojourner,º
as allº
my fathersº
[were]. |
|
39:13
Spare me, that I may be refreshed, before I depart, and be no more. |
39:13
O spareººº
me, that I may recover strength,ºº
beforeº
I goº
hence,ºº
and be noº
more. |
