  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,°°
[even] to Jeduthun,°
A Psalm°
of David.]]°
I said,°°
I will take heed°°
to my ways,°
that I sin°°
not°°
with my tongue:°
I will keep°°
my mouth°
with a bridle,°
while°
the wicked°
is before°
me. |
|
39:2
I was dumb, and humbled myself, and kept silence from good [words]; and my grief was renewed. |
|
39:2
I was dumb°°
with silence,°
I held my peace,°°
[even] from good;°°
and my sorrow°
was stirred.°° |
|
39:3
My heart grew hot within me, and a fire would kindle in my meditation: I spoke with my tongue, |
|
39:3
My heart°
was hot°°
within°
me, while I was musing°
the fire°
burned:°°
[then]°
spake°°
I with my tongue,° |
|
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,°
make me to know°°
mine end,°
and the measure°
of my days,°
what°
it°
[is; that] I may know°°
how°
frail°
I°
[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,°
thou hast made°°
my days°
[as] an handbreadth;°
and mine age°
[is] as nothing°
before°
thee: verily°
every°
man°
at his best state°°
[is] altogether°
vanity.°
Selah.° |
|
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
Surely°
every man°
walketh°°
in a vain shew:°
surely°
they are disquieted°°
in vain:°
he heapeth up°°
[riches], and knoweth°°
not°
who°
shall gather°°
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,°
Yahweh,°
what°
wait°°
I for? my hope°
[is] in thee. |
|
39:8
Deliver me from all my transgressions: thou hast made me a reproach to the foolish. |
|
39:8
Deliver°°
me from all°°
my transgressions:°
make°°
me not°
the reproach°
of the foolish.° |
|
39:9
I was dumb, and opened not my mouth; for thou art he that made me. |
|
39:9
I was dumb,°°
I opened°°
not°
my mouth;°
because°
thou°
didst°°
[it]. |
|
39:10
Remove thy scourges from me: I have fainted by reason of the strength of thine hand. |
|
39:10
Remove°°
thy stroke°
away°°
from°°
me: I°
am consumed°°
by the blow°°
of thine hand.° |
|
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 rebukes°
dost correct°°
man°
for°
iniquity,°
thou makest his beauty°°
to consume away°°
like a moth:°
surely°
every°
man°
[is] vanity.°
Selah.° |
|
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
Hear°°
my prayer,°
O Yahweh,°
and give ear°°
unto my cry;°
hold not thy peace°°°
at°
my tears:°
for°
I°
[am] a stranger°
with°
thee, [and] a sojourner,°
as all°
my fathers°
[were]. |
|
39:13
Spare me, that I may be refreshed, before I depart, and be no more. |
|
39:13
O spare°°°
me, that I may recover strength,°°
before°
I go°
hence,°°
and be no°
more. |
