Psalms 39:11 - Prayer Tents

Prayer for Wisdom and Forgiveness

39To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, "I will guard my ways, Lest I sin with my tongue; I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle, While the wicked are before me."H5329H3038H4210H1732H559H8104H1870H2398H3956H8104H6310H4269H7563 2I was mute with silence, I held my peace even from good; And my sorrow was stirred up.H481H1747H2814H2896H3511H5916 3My heart was hot within me; While I was musing, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:H3820H2552H7130H1901H784H1197H227H1696H3956 4"LORD, make me to know my end, And what is the measure of my days, That I may know how frail I am.H3068H3045H7093H4060H3117H3045H2310 5Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths, And my age is as nothing before You; Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor. SelahH5414H3117H2947H2465H3605H120H5324H3605H1892H5542 6Surely every man walks about like a shadow; Surely they busy themselves in vain; He heaps up riches, And does not know who will gather them.H376H1980H6754H1993H1892H6651H3045H622 7"And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You.H136H6960H8431 8Deliver me from all my transgressions; Do not make me the reproach of the foolish.H5337H6588H7760H2781H5036 9I was mute, I did not open my mouth, Because it was You who did it.H481H6605H6310H6213 10Remove Your plague from me; I am consumed by the blow of Your hand.H5493H5061H5493H3615H8409H3027 11When with rebukes You correct man for iniquity, You make his beauty melt away like a moth; Surely every man is vapor. SelahH8433H3256H376H5771H2530H4529H6211H120H1892H5542 12"Hear my prayer, O LORD, And give ear to my cry; Do not be silent at my tears; For I am a stranger with You, A sojourner, as all my fathers were.H8085H8605H3068H238H7775H2790H1832H1616H8453H1 13Remove Your gaze from me, that I may regain strength, Before I go away and am no more."H8159H1082H3212
