Psalms 39:2-9
2I was dumbH481 with silenceH1747, I held my peaceH2814, even from goodH2896; and my sorrowH3511 was stirredH5916.1
3My heartH3820 was hotH2552 withinH7130 me, while I was musingH1901 the fireH784 burnedH1197: thenH227 spakeH1696 I with my tongueH3956,
4YhwhH3068, make me to knowH3045 mine endH7093, and the measureH4060 of my daysH3117, what it is; that I may knowH3045 how frailH2310 I am.2
5Behold, thou hast madeH5414 my daysH3117 as an handbreadthH2947; and mine ageH2465 is as nothing before thee: verily everyH3605 manH120 at his best stateH5324 is altogetherH3605 vanityH1892. SelahH5542.3
6Surely every manH376 walkethH1980 in a vain shewH6754: surely they are disquietedH1993 in vainH1892: he heapeth upH6651 riches, and knowethH3045 not who shall gatherH622 them.4
7And now, LordH136, what waitH6960 I for? my hopeH8431 is in thee.
8DeliverH5337 me from all my transgressionsH6588: makeH7760 me not the reproachH2781 of the foolishH5036.
9I was dumbH481, I openedH6605 not my mouthH6310; because thou didstH6213 it.
