ASV_Strong : Psalms 39
1.
2. I was dumb[H481] with silence[H1747], I held my peace[H2814], even from good[H2896]; And my sorrow[H3511] was stirred[H5916].
3. My heart[H3820] was hot[H2552] within[H7130] me[H1901]; While I was musing the fire[H784] burned[H1197]: Then[H227] spake[H1696] I with my tongue[H3956]:
4. Jehovah[H3068], make me to know[H3045] mine end[H7093], And the measure[H4060] of my days[H3117], what it is[H3045]; Let me know how frail I am[H2310].
5. Behold[H5414], thou hast made my days[H3117] as handbreadths[H2947]; And my life-time[H2465] is as nothing before thee[H3605]: Surely every man[H120] at his best estate[H5324] is altogether[H3605] vanity[H1892]. [H5542][[Selah
6. Surely every man[H376] walketh[H1980] in a vain show[H6754]; Surely they are disquieted[H1993] in vain[H1892]: He heapeth up[H6651] riches[H3045], and knoweth not who shall gather them[H622].
7. And now[H136], Lord, what wait[H6960] I for[H8431]? My hope is in thee.
8. Deliver[H5337] me from all my transgressions[H6588]: Make[H7760] me not the reproach[H2781] of the foolish[H5036].
9. I was dumb[H481], I opened[H6605] not my mouth[H6310]; Because thou didst it[H6213].
10. Remove[H5493] thy stroke[H5061] away[H5493] from me[H3615]: I am consumed by the blow[H8409] of thy hand[H3027].
11. When thou with rebukes[H8433] dost correct[H3256] man[H376] for iniquity[H5771], Thou makest his beauty[H2530] to consume away[H4529] like a moth[H6211]: Surely every man[H120] is vanity[H1892]. Selah[H5542]
12. Hear[H8085] my prayer[H8605], O Jehovah[H3068], and give ear[H238] unto my cry[H7775]; Hold not thy peace[H2790] at my tears[H1832]: For I am a stranger[H1616] with thee[H8453], A sojourner, as all my fathers were[H1].
13. Oh spare[H8159] me[H1082], that I may recover strength, Before I go hence[H3212], and be no more.
