Psalm 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.AKJV — Psalm 39:1

2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.AKJV — Psalm 39:2

3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spoke I with my tongue,AKJV — Psalm 39:3

4 LORD, make me to know my end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.AKJV — Psalm 39:4

5 Behold, you have made my days as an handbreadth; and my age is as nothing before you: truly every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.AKJV — Psalm 39:5

8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.AKJV — Psalm 39:8

11 When you with rebukes do correct man for iniquity, you make his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.AKJV — Psalm 39:11

12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry; hold not your peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with you, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.AKJV — Psalm 39:12

13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.AKJV — Psalm 39:13
