Psalms 39:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 For the music director, Jeduthun; a psalm of David. I decided, "I will watch what I say and make sure I do not sin with my tongue. I will put a muzzle over my mouth while in the presence of an evil man."
2 I was stone silent; I held back the urge to speak. My frustration grew;
3 my anxiety intensified. As I thought about it, I became impatient. Finally I spoke these words:
4 "O LORD, help me understand my mortality and the brevity of life! Let me realize how quickly my life will pass!
5 Look, you make my days short-lived, and my life span is nothing from your perspective. Surely all people, even those who seem secure, are nothing but vapor.
6 Surely people go through life as mere ghosts. Surely they accumulate worthless wealth without knowing who will eventually haul it away."
7 But now, O Lord, upon what am I relying? You are my only hope!
8 Deliver me from all my sins of rebellion! Do not make me the object of fools' insults!
9 I am silent and cannot open my mouth because of what you have done.
10 Please stop wounding me! You have almost beaten me to death!
11 You severely discipline people for their sins; like a moth you slowly devour their strength. Surely all people are a mere vapor. (Selah)
12 Hear my prayer, O LORD! Listen to my cry for help! Do not ignore my sobbing! For I am dependent on you, like one residing outside his native land; I am at your mercy, just as all my ancestors were.
13 Turn your angry gaze away from me, so I can be happy before I pass away.
1 To the chief Musician, H5329 even to Jeduthun, H3038 A Psalm H4210 of David. H1732 I said, H559 I will take heed H8104 to my ways, H1870 that I sin not H4480 H2398 with my tongue: H3956 I will keep H8104 my mouth H6310 with a bridle, H4269 while H5750 the wicked H7563 is before H5048 me.
2 I was dumb H481 with silence, H1747 I held my peace, H2814 even from good H4480 H2896 ; and my sorrow H3511 was stirred. H5916
3 My heart H3820 was hot H2552 within H7130 me , while I was musing H1901 the fire H784 burned: H1197 then spoke H1696 I with my tongue, H3956
4 LORD H3068 , make me to know H3045 mine end, H7093 and the measure H4060 of my days, H3117 what H4100 it H1931 is; that I may know H3045 how H4100 frail H2310 I H589 am .
5 Behold H2009 , thou hast made H5414 my days H3117 as a handbreadth; H2947 and mine age H2465 is as nothing H369 before H5048 thee: verily H389 every H3605 man H120 at his best state H5324 is altogether H3605 vanity. H1892 Selah. H5542
6 Surely H389 every man H376 walketh H1980 in a vain show: H6754 surely H389 they are disquieted H1993 in vain: H1892 he heapeth up H6651 riches , and knoweth H3045 not H3808 who H4310 shall gather H622 them.
7 And now, H6258 Lord, H136 what H4100 wait H6960 I for? my hope H8431 is in thee.
8 Deliver H5337 me from all H4480 H3605 my transgressions: H6588 make H7760 me not H408 the reproach H2781 of the foolish. H5036
9 I was dumb, H481 I opened H6605 not H3808 my mouth; H6310 because H3588 thou H859 didst H6213 it .
10 Remove H5493 thy stroke H5061 away from H4480 H5921 me: I H589 am consumed H3615 by the blow H4480 H8409 of thine hand. H3027
11 When thou with rebukes H8433 dost correct H3256 man H376 for H5921 iniquity, H5771 thou makest his beauty H2530 to consume away H4529 like a moth: H6211 surely H389 every H3605 man H120 is vanity. H1892 Selah. H5542
12 Hear H8085 my prayer, H8605 O LORD, H3068 and give ear H238 unto my cry; H7775 hold not thy peace H2790 H408 at H413 my tears: H1832 for H3588 I H595 am a stranger H1616 with H5973 thee, and a sojourner, H8453 as all H3605 my fathers H1 were .
13 O spare H8159 H4480 me , that I may recover strength, H1082 before H2962 I go H1980 hence , and be no H369 more.
