Psalms 39 To the director; to Jeduthun; an ode to David.

0 G1519 To G3588 the G5056 director; G3588 to G* Jeduthun; G5603 an ode G3588 to G* David.

1 G2036 I said, G5442 I shall guard G3588 G3598 my ways G1473 G3588 G3361 [²to not sin G264 G1473 ¹for me] G1722 with G1100 my tongue. G1473 G5087 I put G3588 G4750 [²for my mouth G1473 G5438 ¹a guard] G1722 while G3588 the G4921 [²stood G3588 G268 ¹sinner] G1726 before G1473 me.

2 G2974.1 I was mute G2532 and G5013 humbled G2532 and G4601 quiet G1537 of G18 good words, G2532 and G3588 G217.3 my pain G1473 G340 was renewed.

3 G2328 [²heated G3588 G2588 ¹My heart] G1473 G1787 within G1473 me; G2532 and G1722 in G3588 G3191.1 my meditation G1473 G1572 [²would burn away G4442 ¹a fire]; G2980 I spoke G1722 with G1100 my tongue. G1473

4 G1107 Make known G1473 to me, G2962 O lord, G3588 G4009 my limit! G1473 G2532 and G3588 the G706 number G3588 G2250 of my days, G1473 G5100 what G1510.2.3 it is, G2443 that G1097 I should know G5100 what G5302 I lack. G1473

5 G2400 Behold, G3822.1 [²a palm G5087 ¹you established] G3588 G2250 for my days; G1473 G2532 and G5287 my essence G1473 G5616 is as G3762 nothing G1799 before G1473 you. G4133 Furthermore, G3588 G4840.2 [⁴all things G3153 ⁵ are folly G3956 ¹for every G444 ²man G2198 ³living].

6 G3305.1 However, G1722 [³with G1504 ⁴an image G1279 ²travels G444 ¹a man], G4133 except, G3155 [²in folly G5015 ¹he is disturbed]. G2343 He treasures up, G2532 but G3756 does not G1097 know G5100 why G4863 he shall gather G1473 them.

7 G2532 And G3568 now, G5100 what G3588 G5281 of my endurance -- G1473 G3780 is it not G3588 the G2962 lord ? G2532 Even G3588 G5287 my support G1473 G3844 [²from G1473 ³you G1510.2.3 ¹is].

8 G575 From G3956 all G3588 G458 my lawless deeds G1473 G4506 rescue G1473 me! G3681 [³for scorn G878 ⁴to the fool G1325 ¹You gave G1473 ²me].

9 G2974.1 I was made mute, G2532 and G3756 I did not G455 open G3588 G4750 my mouth, G1473 G3754 for G1473 you G4160 did it .

10 G868 Abstain G575 [²from G1473 ³me G3588 G3148 ¹your whips]; G1473 G575 from G3588 the G2479 strength G3588 G5495 of your hand G1473 G1473 I G1587 failed.

11 G1722 With G1648.1 rebukes G5228 for G458 lawlessness G3811 you corrected G444 man; G2532 and G1619.1 [²wastes away G5613 ³as G689.2 ⁴a spider's G3588 G5590 ¹his life]; G1473 G4133 besides -- G3155 [³is folly G3956 ¹every G444 ²man]. G1316.1 PAUSE.

12 G1522 Hear G3588 G4335 my prayer, G1473 G2962 O lord, G2532 and G3588 G1162 my supplication! G1473 G1801 Give ear to G3588 G1144 my tears! G1473 G3361 Be not G3902.1 silent! G3754 for G3941 [³a sojourner G1473 ¹I G1510.2.1 ²am] G3844 with you, G1473 G2532 and G3927 an immigrant, G2531 as G3956 all G3588 G3962 my fathers. G1473

13 G447 Spare G1473 me! G2443 that G404 I shall refresh G4253 before G3588 G1473 my G565 going forth, G2532 and G3765 should no longer G3766.2 in any way G5224 exist.

Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To the excellent musician Ieduthun. I thought, I will take heede to my wayes, that I sinne not with my tongue: I will keepe my mouth brideled, while the wicked is in my sight. ² I was dumme and spake nothing: I kept silece euen from good, and my sorow was more stirred. ³ Mine heart was hote within me, and while I was musing, the fire kindeled, and I spake with my tongue, saying, ⁴ Lord, let me know mine ende, and the measure of my dayes, what it is: let mee knowe howe long I haue to liue. ⁵ Beholde, thou hast made my dayes as an hand breadth, and mine age as nothing in respect of thee: surely euery man in his best state is altogether vanitie. Selah. ⁶ Doubtlesse man walketh in a shadowe, and disquieteth himselfe in vaine: he heapeth vp riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them. ⁷ And now Lord, what wait I for? mine hope is euen in thee. ⁸ Deliuer me from all my transgressions, and make me not a rebuke vnto the foolish. ⁹ I should haue bene dumme, and not haue opened my mouth, because thou didest it. ¹⁰ Take thy plague away from mee: for I am consumed by the stroke of thine hand. ¹¹ When thou with rebukes doest chastise man for iniquitie, thou as a mothe makest his beautie to consume: surely euery man is vanitie. Selah. ¹² Heare my prayer, O Lord, and hearken vnto my cry: keepe not silence at my teares, for I am a strager with thee, and a soiourner as all my fathers. ¹³ Stay thine anger from me, that I may recouer my strength, before I go hence and be not.

Bishops⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I sayde [to my selfe] I wyll take heede to my wayes, that I offende not in my tongue: I wyll kepe my mouth as it were with a brydell, whylest the vngodly is in my syght ² I became dumbe through scilence, I helde my peace from speakyng of good wordes: but the more was my sorowe increased ³ My heart was hotte within me, and whyle I was thus musyng the fire kyndled: and [at the last] I spake with my tongue ⁴ O God make me to knowe mine ende, and the number of my dayes: that I may be certified howe long I haue to lyue ⁵ Behold thou hast made my dayes as it were an hand breadth long, & mine age is euen as nothing before thee: truely euery man is al [together] vanitie. Selah ⁶ Truely man walketh in a vayne shadowe, truely he [and all his] do disquiet them selues in vayne: he heapeth vp riches, & can not tel who shal vse them ⁷ And nowe Lord what wayte I after? truely my hope is euen in thee ⁸ Delyuer me from all my offences: and make me not a rebuke vnto the foolishe ⁹ I became dumbe, and opened not my mouth: for it was thy doyng ¹⁰ Take thy plague away from me: I am euen consumed by the meanes of thy heauy hande ¹¹ Thou doest chasten man, rebukyng him for sinne: thou as a moth doest consume his excellencie, for in very deede euery man is but vanitie. Selah ¹² Heare my prayer O God, and geue eares to my crying, holde not thy peace at my teares: for I am a strauger with thee, and a soiourner as all my fathers were ¹³ Oh spare me a litle, that I may recouer my strength: before I go hence, and be no more [seene.

1 H5329 To the chief Musician [H8764] H3038 , even to Jeduthun H4210 , A Psalm H1732 of David H559 . I said [H8804] H8104 , I will take heed [H8799] H1870 to my ways H2398 , that I sin [H8800] H3956 not with my tongue H8104 : I will keep [H8799] H6310 my mouth H4269 with a bridle H7563 , while the wicked is before me.

2 H481 I was dumb [H8738] H1747 with silence H2814 , I held my peace [H8689] H2896 , even from good H3511 ; and my sorrow H5916 was stirred [H8738] .

3 H3820 My heart H2552 was hot [H8804] H7130 within H1901 me, while I was musing H784 the fire H1197 burned [H8799] H227 : then H1696 spake [H8765] H3956 I with my tongue,

4 H3068 LORD H3045 , make me to know [H8685] H7093 mine end H4060 , and the measure H3117 of my days H3045 , what it is; that I may know [H8799] H2310 how frail I am .

5 H5414 Behold, thou hast made [H8804] H3117 my days H2947 as an handbreadth H2465 ; and mine age H3605 is as nothing before thee: verily every H120 man H5324 at his best state [H8737] H3605 is altogether H1892 vanity H5542 . Selah.

6 H376 Surely every man H1980 walketh [H8691] H6754 in a vain shew H1993 : surely they are disquieted [H8799] H1892 in vain H6651 : he heapeth up [H8799] H3045 riches, and knoweth [H8799] H622 not who shall gather [H8802] them.

7 H136 And now, Lord H6960 , what wait [H8765] H8431 I for? my hope is in thee.

8 H5337 Deliver [H8685] H6588 me from all my transgressions H7760 : make [H8799] H2781 me not the reproach H5036 of the foolish.

9 H481 I was dumb [H8738] H6605 , I opened [H8799] H6310 not my mouth H6213 ; because thou didst [H8804] it .

10 H5493 Remove H5061 thy stroke H5493 away [H8685] H3615 from me: I am consumed [H8804] H8409 by the blow H3027 of thine hand.

11 H8433 When thou with rebukes H3256 dost correct [H8765] H376 man H5771 for iniquity H2530 , thou makest his beauty [H8803] H4529 to consume away [H8686] H6211 like a moth H120 : surely every man H1892 is vanity H5542 . Selah.

12 H8085 Hear [H8798] H8605 my prayer H3068 , O LORD H238 , and give ear [H8685] H7775 unto my cry H2790 ; hold not thy peace [H8799] H1832 at my tears H1616 : for I am a stranger H8453 with thee, and a sojourner H1 , as all my fathers were .

13 H8159 O spare [H8685] H1082 me, that I may recover strength [H8686] H3212 , before I go hence [H8799] , and be no more.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To the Overseer, to Jeduthun. --A Psalm of David. I have said, `I observe my ways, Against sinning with my tongue, I keep for my mouth a curb, while the wicked is before me.' ² I was dumb with silence, I kept silent from good, and my pain is excited. ³ Hot is my heart within me, In my meditating doth the fire burn, I have spoken with my tongue. ⁴ `Cause me to know, O Jehovah, mine end, And the measure of my days--what it is,' I know how frail I am . ⁵ Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age is as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity is every man set up. Selah. ⁶ Only, in an image doth each walk habitually, Only, in vain, they are disquieted, He heapeth up and knoweth not who gathereth them.
⁷ And, now, what have I expected? O Lord, my hope--it is of Thee. ⁸ From all my transgressions deliver me, A reproach of the fool make me not. ⁹ I have been dumb, I open not my mouth, Because Thou--Thou hast done it . ¹⁰ Turn aside from off me Thy stroke, From the striving of Thy hand I have been consumed. ¹¹ With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man, And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity is every man. Selah. ¹² Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And to my cry give ear, Unto my tear be not silent, For a sojourner I am with Thee, A settler like all my fathers. ¹³ Look from me, and I brighten up before I go and am not!

ASV⁽ⁱ⁾ 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. ² I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; And my sorrow was stirred. ³ My heart was hot within me; While I was musing the fire burned: Then spake I with my tongue: ⁴ Jehovah, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how frail I am. ⁵ Behold, thou hast made my days as handbreadths; And my life-time is as nothing before thee: Surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Selah ⁶ Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. ⁷ And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee. ⁸ Deliver me from all my transgressions: Make me not the reproach of the foolish. ⁹ I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; Because thou didst it. ¹⁰ Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thy hand. ¹¹ 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 ¹² Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; Hold not thy peace at my tears: For I am a stranger with thee, A sojourner, as all my fathers were. ¹³ Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, Before I go hence, and be no more. Psalm 40 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
