Psalm 39 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Psa 39:1For the Chief Musician. For Yedutun. A Psalm by David. I said, "I will watch my ways, so that I don't sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me."
Psa 39:2I was mute with silence. I held my shalom, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.
Psa 39:3My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned: I spoke with my tongue:
Psa 39:4"LORD, show me my end, What is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.
Psa 39:5Behold, you have made my days handbreadths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath." Selah.
Psa 39:6"Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn't know who shall gather.
Psa 39:7Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.
Psa 39:8Deliver me from all my transgressions. Don't make me the reproach of the foolish.
Psa 39:9I was mute. I didn't open my mouth, Because you did it.
Psa 39:10Remove your scourge away from me. I am overcome by the blow of your hand.
Psa 39:11When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity, You consume his wealth like a moth. Surely every man is but a breath." Selah.
Psa 39:12"Hear my prayer, LORD, and give ear to my cry. Don't be silent at my tears. For I am a stranger with you, A foreigner, as all my fathers were.
Psa 39:13Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, Before I go away, and be no more."
