Psalm 39

Good News Translation GNT

1 I said, "I will be careful about what I do and will not let my tongue make me sin; I will not say anything while evil people are near."

2 I kept quiet, not saying a word, not even about anything good! But my suffering only grew worse,

3 and I was overcome with anxiety. The more I thought, the more troubled I became; I could not keep from asking:

4 "Lord, how long will I live? When will I die? Tell me how soon my life will end."

5 How short you have made my life! In your sight my lifetime seems nothing. Indeed every living being is no more than a puff of wind,

6 no more than a shadow. All we do is for nothing; we gather wealth, but don't know who will get it.

7 What, then, can I hope for, Lord? I put my hope in you.

8 Save me from all my sins, and don't let fools make fun of me.

9 I will keep quiet, I will not say a word, for you are the one who made me suffer like this.

10 Don't punish me any more! I am about to die from your blows.

11 You punish our sins by your rebukes, and like a moth you destroy what we love. Indeed we are no more than a puff of wind!

12 Hear my prayer, Lord, and listen to my cry; come to my aid when I weep. Like all my ancestors I am only your guest for a little while.

13 Leave me alone so that I may have some happiness before I go away and am no more.

1 <<For the Chief Musician. For Jeduthun. A Psalm by David.>> I said, "I will watch my ways, so that I don't sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me."

2 I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.

3 My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned: I spoke with my tongue:

4 "Yahweh, make me to know my end, What is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.

5 Behold, you have made my days handbreadths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath." Selah.

6 "Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn't know who shall gather.

7 Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.

8 Deliver me from all my transgressions. Don't make me the reproach of the foolish.

9 I was mute, I didn't open my mouth, Because you did it.

10 Remove your scourge away from me. I am overcome by the blow of your hand.

11 When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity, You consume his wealth like a moth. Surely every man is but a breath." Selah.

12 "Hear my prayer, Yahweh, and give ear to my cry. Don't be silent at my tears. For I am a stranger with you, A sojourner, as all my fathers were.

13 Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, Before I go away, and be no more."
