060) Psalm 39

Psalm 39 To the chief Musician,evento Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.

8.6.8.6

1 I said, I will look to my ways, lest I sin with my tongue:

I’ll keep my mouth with bit, while I the wicked am among.

2 With silence tied was my tongue, my mouth I did refrain, from speaking that thing which is good; and stirred was my pain.

3 Mine heart within me waxed hot, while I was musing long enkindled in me was the fire: then spake I with my tongue,

4 Mine end, O Lord, and my days, let me the measure learn; that what a momentary thing I am I may discern.

5 Behold, thou mad’st my days a span; mine age as nought to thee: surely each man at’s best estate is wholly vanity. Selah.

6 Sure in a vain show walketh man: sure stir’d in vain they are: he heaps up riches and knows not who shall the same gather.
