Psalms 39

DBY

NIV

1 {To the chief Musician, 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 muzzle, while the wicked is before me.
1 I said, “I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth while in the presence of the wicked.”
2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
2 So I remained utterly silent, not even saying anything good. But my anguish increased;
3 My heart burned within me; the fire was kindled in my musing: I spoke with my tongue,
3 my heart grew hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:
4 Make me to know, Jehovah, mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: I shall know how frail I am.
4 “Show me, LORD, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is.
5 Behold, thou hast made my days [as] hand-breadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before thee; verily, every man, [even] the high placed, is altogether vanity. Selah.
5 You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure.
6 Verily, man walketh in a vain show; verily they are disquieted in vain; he heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not who shall gather them.
6 “Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom; in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth without knowing whose it will finally be.
7 And now, what wait I for, Lord? my hope is in thee.
7 “But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the reproach of the foolish.
8 Save me from all my transgressions; do not make me the scorn of fools.
9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; for *thou* hast done [it].
9 I was silent; I would not open my mouth, for you are the one who has done this.
10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.
10 Remove your scourge from me; I am overcome by the blow of your hand.
11 When thou with rebukes dost correct a man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely, every man is vanity. Selah.
11 When you rebuke and discipline anyone for their sin, you consume their wealth like a moth— surely everyone is but a breath.
12 Hear my prayer, Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; be not silent at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, like all my fathers.
12 “Hear my prayer, LORD, listen to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping. I dwell with you as a foreigner, a stranger, as all my ancestors were.
13 Look away from me, and let me recover strength, before I go hence and be no more.
13 Look away from me, that I may enjoy life again before I depart and am no more.”
