Psalm Ps. 39. This psalm allows those who are suffering to express their confusion to God. The circumstances of the suffering are left vague, although there is acknowledgment of sin (vv. 8, 11). Suffering is a reminder of how fleeting human life is.
Ps. 39:1–3 The singer is probably concerned with what he might say aloud in his suffering before the wicked, perhaps blaming God. But he knows he must say something, and worship is the way to do it.
Ps. 39:4–6 To really understand how brief life is would protect the singer from wasting his life in pursuing wealth.
Ps. 39:7–13 The singer asks God to deliver him from all his transgressions, thus admitting that he deserves God’s rebukes for sin. Look away (v. 13) asks God to turn away his angry gaze.
