King James Bible |
Youngs Literal Translation |
|
| 39:1 | I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep |
To the Overseer, to Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of David. I have said, `I observe my ways, Against sinning with my tongue, I keep for my mouth a curb, while the wicked `is' before me.' |
| 39:2 | I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was |
I was dumb `with' silence, I kept silent from good, and my pain is excited. |
| 39:3 | My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue, | Hot `is' my heart within me, In my meditating doth the fire burn, I have spoken with my tongue. |
| 39:4 | LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know |
`Cause me to know, O Jehovah, mine end, And the measure of my days -- what it `is',' I know how frail I `am'. |
| 39:5 | Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man |
Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age `is' as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity `is' every man set up. Selah. |
| 39:6 | Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. | Only, in an image doth each walk habitually, Only, `in' vain, they are disquieted, He heapeth up and knoweth not who gathereth them. |
| 39:7 | And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. | And, now, what have I expected? O Lord, my hope -- it `is' of Thee. |
| 39:8 | Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish. | From all my transgressions deliver me, A reproach of the fool make me not. |
| 39:9 | I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it. | I have been dumb, I open not my mouth, Because Thou -- Thou hast done `it'. |
| 39:10 | Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the |
Turn aside from off me Thy stroke, From the striving of Thy hand I have been consumed. |
| 39:11 | When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest |
With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man, And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity `is' every man. Selah. |
| 39:12 | Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. | Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And `to' my cry give ear, Unto my tear be not silent, For a sojourner I `am' with Thee, A settler like all my fathers. |
| 39:13 | O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more. | Look from me, and I brighten up before I go and am not! |
