­PSA 39:1  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.

 

­PSA 39:2  I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my

 sorrow was stirred.

 

­PSA 39:3  My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then

 spake I with my tongue,

 

­PSA 39:4  LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it

 is: that I may know how frail I am.

 

­PSA 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.

 

­PSA 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.

 

­PSA 39:7  And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.

 

­PSA 39:8  Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach

 of the foolish.

 

­PSA 39:9  I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.

 

­PSA 39:10  Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine

 hand.

 

­PSA 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.

 

­PSA 39:12  Hear my prayer, O LORD, 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.

 

­PSA 39:13  O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be

 no more.
