Psalm 39 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

I was ^H481 mute ^H481 with silence ^H1747,

I even kept ^H2814 silent ^H2814 from speaking good ^H2896,

And my anguish ^H3511 grew ^H5916 worse ^H5916.

My heart ^H3820 was ^H2552 hot ^H2552 within ^H7130 me,

While I meditated ^H1901 the fire ^H784 was burning ^H1197;

Then I spoke ^H1696 with my tongue ^H3956:

“Yahweh ^H3068, cause me to know ^H3045 my end ^H7093

And what ^H4100 is the extent ^H4060 of my days ^H3117;

Let me know ^H3045 how ^H4100 transient ^H2310 I am.

“Behold ^H2009, You have made ^H5414 my days ^H3117 as [fn]handbreadths ^H2947,

And my lifetime ^H2465 as nothing ^H369 before ^H5048 You;

Surely ^H389 every ^H3605 man ^H120, even standing ^H5324 firm ^H5324, is [fn]altogether ^H3605 vanity ^H1892. [fn]Selah ^H5542.

“Surely ^H389 every ^H376 man ^H376 walks ^H1980 about ^H1980 as [fn]a shadow ^H6754;

Surely ^H389 they make ^H1993 an ^H1993 uproar ^H1993 in vain ^H1892;

He piles ^H6651 up ^H6651 riches and does not know ^H3045 who ^H4310 will gather ^H622 them.

“And now ^H6258, Lord ^H136, what ^H4100 do I hope ^H6960 in?

My expectation ^H8431 is in You.

“Deliver ^H5337 me from all ^H3605 my transgressions ^H6588;

Make ^H7760 me not the reproach ^H2781 of the wicked ^H5036 fool ^H5036.

“I have become ^H481 mute ^H481, I do not open ^H6605 my mouth ^H6310,

Because ^H3588 it is You who have done ^H6213 it.

“Remove ^H5493 Your plague ^H5061 from me;

Because ^H4480 of the opposition ^H8409 of Your hand ^H3027 I am wasting away ^H3615.

“With reproofs ^H8433 You chasten ^H3256 a man ^H376 for iniquity ^H5771;

You consume ^H4529 as a moth ^H6211 what is precious ^H2530 to him;

Surely ^H389 every ^H3605 man ^H120 is vanity ^H1892. Selah ^H5542.

“Hear ^H8085 my prayer ^H8605, O Yahweh ^H3068, and give ^H238 ear ^H238 to my cry ^H7775 for ^H7775 help ^H7775;

Do not be ^H2790 silent ^H2790 at my tears ^H1832;

For I am a sojourner ^H1616 with You,

A foreign ^H8453 resident ^H8453 like all ^H3605 my fathers ^H1.

“Turn ^H8159 Your gaze ^H8159 away ^H8159 from me, that I may [fn]smile ^H1082 again

Before ^H2962 I go ^H1980 and am no ^H369 more ^H369.”
