Psalms:39:3-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
My heart was hot within me ,
while I was musing the fire burned :
then spake I with my tongue ,
*
LORD ,
make me to know mine end ,
and the measure of my days ,
what it is ;
that I may know how frail I am .
*
Behold ,
thou hast made my days as an handbreadth ;
and mine age is as nothing before thee :
verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity .
Selah .
*
Surely every man walketh in a vain shew :
surely they are disquieted in vain :
he heapeth up riches ,
and knoweth not who shall gather them .
*
And now ,
Lord ,
what wait I for ?
my hope is in thee .
*
Deliver me from all my transressions :
make me not the reproach of the foolish .
*
I was dumb ,
I opened not my mouth ;
because thou didst it .
