CHAP. XXXIX.
1 Dauids care of his thoughts, 4 the consideration of the breuity and vanitie of life, 7 the reuerence of Gods iudgements, 10 and prayer, are his bridles of impatiencie.
1[To the chiefe Musician, euen to Ieduthun, A Psalme of Dauid.] I sayd, I will take heede to my waies, that I sinne not with my tongue: I will keepe my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.1
2I was dumbe with silence, I held my peace, euen from good, and my sorrow was stirred.2
3My heart was hot within mee, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue.
4Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my dayes, what it is: that I may know how fraile I am.4
5Behold, thou hast made my dayes as an hand breadth, and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily euery man at his best state is altogether vanitie. Selah.5
6Surely euery man walketh in a vaine shew: surely they are disquieted in vaine: he heapeth vp riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.6
7And now Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
8Deliuer me from all my transgressions: make mee not the reproch of the foolish.
9I was dumbe, I opened not my mouth; because thou diddest it.
10Remooue thy stroke away from mee: I am consumed by the blowe of thine hand.10
11When thou with rebukes doest correct man for iniquitie, thou makest his beautie to consume away like a moth: surely euery man is vanitie. Selah.11
12Heare my prayer, O Lord, and giue eare vnto my crie, hold not thy peace at my teares: for I am a straunger with thee, and a soiourner, as all my fathers were.12
13O spare me, that I may recouer strength: before I goe hence, and be no more.
