Psalms Chapter 39 Verse 2I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, [even] from good; and my sorrow was stirred.

Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth [are] no reproofs.

For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

For I said, [Hear me], lest [otherwise] they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify [themselves] against me.

For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is] continually before me.

For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

But mine enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow [the thing that] good [is].

Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

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.

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 transgressions: 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; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I [am] a stranger with thee, [and] a sojourner, as all my fathers [were].
