          DASV: Psalm 39    

For the music director, Jeduthun; a psalm of David

1 I said, "I will guard my ways,
          so that I do not sin with my tongue;
      I will put a muzzle on my mouth,
          while the wicked are before me."
2 I was speechless with silence;
      I held my peace even from saying good things,
            and my anguish grew worse.
3 My heart became hot within me;
      while I pondered, the fire burned,
            then I spoke with my tongue.

4 O LORD, make me to know my end,
      and what is the extent of my days;
            make me realize how fleeting my life is.
5 You have made my days as short as the width of a hand,
      and my whole lifetime is nothing to you;
      surely everyone is just a breath,
      even those who seem to stand secure. Selah
6 Everyone moves about like a mere shadow;
      surely they make an uproar over nothing;
      someone stores up wealth,
            not knowing who will get it.

7 And now, O Lord, what do I expectantly wait for?
      My hope is in you.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions;
      do not let me be the mockery of fools.
9 I am silent, I do not open my mouth,
      because you are the one who did it.
10 Remove your stroke away from me;
      I am consumed by the blows of your hand.
11 When your rebuke corrects a person for iniquity,
      you consume what is precious to him like a moth;
            surely everyone is just a breath. Selah

12 Hear my prayer, O LORD,
      and give ear to my cry;
            do not ignore my tears,
      for I am your guest,
      a sojourner, as all my forefathers were.
13 Look away from me, so that I may smile again,
      before I pass away and am no more.
