strkjv @Psalms:39:1 @To the chief Musician , even to Jeduthun , A Psalm of David .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 . * I was dumb with silence , I held my peace , even from good ; and my sorrow was stirred . * 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 . * Remove # thy stroke away from me : I am consumed by the blow of thine hand . * When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity , thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth : surely every man is vanity . Selah . * Hear my prayer , O LORD , and give ear unto my cry shav #ah #; hold not thy peace at my tears dim #ah #: for I am a stranger with thee , and a sojourner , as all my fathers were . * O spare me , that I may recover strength , before I go hence , and be no more .
