◄ PSA 39 ► ║ ©

0 1 Dauids care of his thoughts, 4 the consideration of the breuity and vanitie of life, 7 the reuerence of Gods iudgements, 10 and prayer, are his bridles of impatiencie.

¶ [fn][To the chiefe Musician, euen to Ieduthun, A Psalme of Dauid.

XXXIX ¶ I sayd, I will take heede to my waies, that I sinne not with my tongue: I will keepe my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. 2 [fn]I was dumbe with silence, I held my peace, euen from good, and my sorrow was stirred. 3 My heart was hot within mee, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue. 4 [fn]LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my dayes, what it is: that I may know how fraile I am. 5 [fn][fn]Behold, thou hast made my dayes as an hand breadth, and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily euery man at his best state is altogether vanitie. Selah. 6 [fn]Surely euery man walketh in a vaine shew: surely they are disquieted in vaine: he heapeth vp riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. 7 And now LORD, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. 8 Deliuer me from all my transgressions: make mee not the reproch of the foolish. 9 I was dumbe, I opened not my mouth; because thou diddest it. 10 [fn]Remooue thy stroke away from mee: I am consumed by the blowe of thine hand. 11 [fn]When thou with rebukes doest correct man for iniquitie, thou makest his beautie to consume away like a moth: surely euery man is vanitie. Selah. 12 [fn]Heare my prayer, O LORD, and giue eare vnto my crie, hold not thy peace at my teares: for I am a straunger with thee, and a soiourner, as all my fathers were. 13 O spare me, that I may recouer strength: before I goe hence, and be no more.
