Psalms 39

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 I said, I will take heed to my ways that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bit while the wicked is against me.

2 I was dumb with silence; I held my peace, <em>even</em> from good; and my sorrow was stirred.

3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned; <em>then</em> I spoke with my tongue,

4 LORD, make me to know my end and the measure of my days, what it <em>is that</em> I may know how long I am to be of this world.

5 Behold, thou hast made my days <em>as</em> a handbreadth, and my age <em>is</em> as nothing before thee; verily every man that lives <em>is</em> altogether vanity. Selah.

6 Surely man walks in darkness; surely they are disquieted in vain; they heap up <em>riches</em> not knowing who shall gather them.

7 And now, Lord, what shall I wait for? My hope <em>is</em> in thee.

8 Deliver me from all my rebellions; do not make me the reproach of the foolish.

9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth because thou didst <em>it</em>.

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

11 When thou with chastening dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his greatness to consume away like a moth; surely every man <em>is</em> vanity. Selah.

12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I <em>am</em> a stranger with thee <em>and</em> a sojourner, as all my fathers <em>were</em>.

13 O spare me, that I may recover strength before I go from here and be no more.

New International Version NIV

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 So I remained utterly silent, not even saying anything good. But my anguish increased;

3 my heart grew hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:

4 “Show me, LORD, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is.

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 “Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom; in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth without knowing whose it will finally be.

7 “But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.

8 Save me from all my transgressions; do not make me the scorn of fools.

9 I was silent; I would not open my mouth, for you are the one who has done this.

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

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, 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, that I may enjoy life again before I depart and am no more.”
