39:1 To the chief Musician 5329 8764, [even] to Jeduthun 3038, A Psalm 4210 of David 1732. I said 559 8804, I will take heed 8104 8799 to my ways 1870, that I sin 2398 8800 not with my tongue 3956: I will keep 8104 8799 my mouth 6310 with a bridle 4269, while the wicked 7563 is before me.(my mouth…: Heb. a bridle, or, muzzle for my mouth)

39:2 I was dumb 481 8738 with silence 1747, I held my peace 2814 8689, [even] from good 2896; and my sorrow 3511 was stirred 5916 8738.(stirred: Heb. troubled)

39:3 My heart 3820 was hot 2552 8804 within 7130 me, while I was musing 1901 the fire 784 burned 1197 8799: [then] 227 spake 1696 8765 I with my tongue 3956,

39:4 LORD 3068, make me to know 3045 8685 mine end 7093, and the measure 4060 of my days 3117, what it [is; that] I may know 3045 8799 how frail 2310 I [am].(how…: or, what time I have here)

39:5 Behold, thou hast made 5414 8804 my days 3117 [as] an handbreadth 2947; and mine age 2465 [is] as nothing before thee: verily every 3605 man 120 at his best state 5324 8737 [is] altogether 3605 vanity 1892. Selah 5542.(at…: Heb. settled)

39:6 Surely every man 376 walketh 1980 8691 in a vain shew 6754: surely they are disquieted 1993 8799 in vain 1892: he heapeth up 6651 8799 [riches], and knoweth 3045 8799 not who shall gather 622 8802 them.(a vain…: Heb. an image)

39:7 And now, Lord 136, what wait 6960 8765 I for? my hope 8431 [is] in thee.

39:8 Deliver 5337 8685 me from all my transgressions 6588: make 7760 8799 me not the reproach 2781 of the foolish 5036.

39:9 I was dumb 481 8738, I opened 6605 8799 not my mouth 6310; because thou didst 6213 8804 [it].

39:10 Remove 5493 0 thy stroke 5061 away 5493 8685 from me: I am consumed 3615 8804 by the blow 8409 of thine hand 3027.(blow: Heb. conflict)

39:11 When thou with rebukes 8433 dost correct 3256 8765 man 376 for iniquity 5771, thou makest his beauty 2530 8803 to consume away 4529 8686 like a moth 6211: surely every man 120 [is] vanity 1892. Selah 5542.(his…: Heb. that which is to be desired in him to melt away)

39:12 Hear 8085 8798 my prayer 8605, O LORD 3068, and give ear 238 8685 unto my cry 7775; hold not thy peace 2790 8799 at my tears 1832: for I [am] a stranger 1616 with thee, [and] a sojourner 8453, as all my fathers 1 [were].

39:13 O spare 8159 8685 me, that I may recover strength 1082 8686, before I go hence 3212 8799, and be no more.
