Amplified Bible Help
39I SAID, I will take heed {and} guard my ways, that I may sin not with my tongue; I will muzzle my mouth as with a bridle while the wicked are before me.H5329H3038H4210H1732H559H8104H1870H2398H3956H8104H6310H4269H7563 2I was dumb with silence, I held my peace without profit and had no comfort away from good, while my distress was renewed.H481H1747H2814H2896H3511H5916 3My heart was hot within me. While I was musing, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:H3820H2552H7130H1901H784H1197H227H1696H3956 4Lord, make me to know my end and [to appreciate] the measure of my days--what it is; let me know {and} realize how frail I am [how transient is my stay here].H3068H3045H7093H4060H3117H3045H2310 5Behold, You have made my days as [short as] handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing in Your sight. Truly every man at his best is merely a breath! Selah [pause, and think calmly of that]!H5414H3117H2947H2465H3605H120H5324H3605H1892H5542 6Surely every man walks to and fro--like a shadow in a pantomime; surely for futility {and} emptiness he is in turmoil; each one heaps up riches, not knowing who will gather them.H376H1980H6754H1993H1892H6651H3045H622 7And now, Lord, what do I wait for {and} expect? My hope {and} expectation are in You.H136H6960H8431 8Deliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the scorn {and} reproach of the [self-confident] fool!H5337H6588H7760H2781H5036 9I am dumb, I open not my mouth, for it is You Who has done it.H481H6605H6310H6213 10Remove Your stroke away from me; I am consumed by the conflict {and} the blow of Your hand.H5493H5061H5493H3615H8409H3027 11When with rebukes You correct {and} chasten man for sin, You waste his beauty like a moth {and} what is dear to him consumes away; surely every man is a mere breath. Selah [pause, and think calmly of that]!H8433H3256H376H5771H2530H4529H6211H120H1892H5542 12Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear to my cry; hold not Your peace at my tears! For I am Your passing guest, a temporary resident, as all my fathers were.H8085H8605H3068H238H7775H2790H1832H1616H8453H1 13O look away from me {and} spare me, that I may recover cheerfulness {and} encouraging strength {and} know gladness before I go and am no more!H8159H1082H3212
