Psalms 39:2-9
2I wasH481 1muteH481 2and silentH1747, I 3refused to sayH2814 even something goodH2896, And my painH3511 was stirredH5916 upH5916.3My 4heartH3820 wasH2552 hotH2552 withinH7130 me, While I was musingH1901 the fireH784 burnedH1197; Then I spokeH1696 with my tongueH3956:4“LordH3068, let me knowH3045 5my endH7093, And whatH4100 is the extentH4060 of my daysH3117; Let me knowH3045 howH4100 6transientH2310 I am.5BeholdH2009, You have madeH5414 7my daysH3117 like 8handH2947 widthsH2947, And my 9lifetimeH2465 as nothingH369 in Your sightH5048; CertainlyH389 allH3605 mankindH120 standingH5324 is 10a mereH3605 11breathH1892. SelahH55426CertainlyH389 everyH376 personH376 12walksH1980 aroundH1980 as 13a fleetingH6754 shadowH6754; They certainlyH389 makeH1993 anH1993 14uproarH1993 for nothingH1892; He 15amassesH6651 riches and does not knowH3045 whoH4310 will gatherH622 them.
7“And nowH6258, LordH136, for whatH4100 do I waitH6960? My 16hopeH8431 is in You.817SaveH5337 me from allH3605 my wrongdoingsH6588; Do not makeH7760 me an object of 18reproachH2781 for the foolishH5036.9I have becomeH481 19muteH481, I do not openH6605 my mouthH6310, BecauseH3588 it is 20You who have doneH6213 it.
