Psalm 39 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Psa 39:1

Psa 39:1(LXX 38:1) For the end, a Song of David, to Idithun. (38:2) I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I set a guard on my mouth, while the sinner stood in my presence.

Psa 39:2

Psa 39:2(LXX 38:3) I was dumb, and humbled myself, and kept silence from good words; and my grief was renewed.

Psa 39:3

Psa 39:3(LXX 38:4) My heart grew hot within me, and a fire would kindle in my meditation: I spoke with my tongue,

Psa 39:4

Psa 39:4(LXX 38:5) O Lord, make me to know mine end, and the number of my days, what it is; that I may know what I lack.

Psa 39:5

Psa 39:5(LXX 38:6) Behold, thou hast made my days [fn]old; and my existence is as nothing before thee: nay, every man living is altogether vanity. Pause.

Psa 39:6

Psa 39:6(LXX 38:7) Surely man walks in a [fn]shadow; nay, he is disquieted in vain: he lays up treasures, and knows not for whom he shall gather them.

Psa 39:7

Psa 39:7(LXX 38:8) And now what is my expectation? is it not the Lord? and my ground of hope is with thee. Pause.

Psa 39:8

Psa 39:8(LXX 38:9) Deliver me from all my transgressions: thou hast made me a reproach to the foolish.

Psa 39:9

Psa 39:9(LXX 38:10) I was [fn]dumb, and opened not my mouth; for thou art he that made me.

Psa 39:10

Psa 39:10(LXX 38:11) Remove thy scourges from me: I have fainted by reason of the strength of thine hand.

Psa 39:11

Psa 39:11(LXX 38:12) Thou chastenest man with rebukes for iniquity, and thou makest his life to consume away like a spider's web: nay, every man is disquieted in vain. Pause.

Psa 39:12

Psa 39:12(LXX 38:13) O Lord, hearken to my prayer and my supplication: attend to my tears: be not silent, for I am a sojourner in the land, and a stranger, as all my fathers were.

Psa 39:13

Psa 39:13(LXX 38:14) Spare me, that I may be refreshed, before I depart, and be no more.
