|
|
|
 |

sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth as with a muzzle While the wicked are
in my presence." |
|
|

good, And my sorrow grew worse. |
| |
|
|

My heart was hot within me, While I was musing
the fire burned; Then I spoke with my tongue: |
| |
|
|

"LORD, make me to know my end And what is the
extent of my days; Let me know how transient I am. |
| |
|

And my lifetime as nothing in Your sight; Surely every man at his best is a mere
breath. Selah. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 39:6 |

Surely they make an uproar for nothing; He amasses riches and does not know who
will gather them. |

is in You. |

me not the reproach of the foolish. |

Because it is You who have done it. |

opposition of Your hand I am perishing. |
|
|

You consume as a moth what is precious to him; Surely every man is a mere breath.
Selah. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 39:12 |
|
"Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my
cry; Do not be silent at my tears; For I am a stranger with You, A sojourner like
all my fathers. |

|
| Psalm 39:13 |

again Before I depart and am no more." |
