Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

Psalms 39

1 David's care of his thoughts. 4 The consideration of the brevity and vanity of life, 7 the reverence of God's judgments, 10 and prayer, are his bridles of impatience.

 39:1 ¶ [[To the chief Musician, 5329 z8764 [even] to Jeduthun, 3038 A Psalm 4210 of David.]] 1732 I said, 559 z8804 I will take heed 8104 z8799 to my ways, 1870 that I sin y2398 z8800 not x4480 x2398 with my tongue: 3956 I will keep 8104 z8799 my mouth 6310 with a bridle, 4269 while x5750 the wicked 7563 is before x5048 me.

 39:2 I was dumb 481 z8738 with silence, 1747 I held my peace, 2814 z8689 [even] from good; 2896 x4480 and my sorrow 3511 was stirred. 5916 z8738

 39:3 My heart 3820 was hot 2552 z8804 within 7130 me, while I was musing 1901 the fire 784 burned: 1197 z8799 [then] y227 spake 1696 z8765 I with my tongue, 3956

 39:4 LORD, 3068 make me to know 3045 z8685 mine end, 7093 and the measure 4060 of my days, 3117 what x4100 it x1931 [is; that] I may know 3045 z8799 how x4100 frail 2310 I x589 [am].

 39:5 Behold, x2009 thou hast made 5414 z8804 my days 3117 [as] an handbreadth; 2947 and mine age 2465 [is] as nothing x369 before x5048 thee: verily x389 every 3605 man 120 at his best state 5324 z8737 [is] altogether 3605 vanity. 1892 Selah. 5542

 39:6 Surely x389 every man 376 walketh 1980 z8691 in a vain shew: 6754 surely x389 they are disquieted 1993 z8799 in vain: 1892 he heapeth up 6651 z8799 [riches], and knoweth 3045 z8799 not x3808 who x4310 shall gather 622 z8802 them.

 39:7 And now, x6258 Lord, 136 what x4100 wait 6960 z8765 I for? my hope 8431 [is] in thee.

 39:8 Deliver 5337 z8685 me from all x4480 x3605 my transgressions: 6588 make 7760 z8799 me not x408 the reproach 2781 of the foolish. 5036

 39:9 I was dumb, 481 z8738 I opened 6605 z8799 not x3808 my mouth; 6310 because x3588 thou x859 didst 6213 z8804 [it].

 39:10 Remove 5493 z0 thy stroke 5061 away y5493 z8685 from x4480 x5921 me: I x589 am consumed 3615 z8804 by the blow 8409 x4480 of thine hand. 3027

 39:11 When thou with rebukes 8433 dost correct 3256 z8765 man 376 for x5921 iniquity, 5771 thou makest his beauty 2530 z8803 to consume away 4529 z8686 like a moth: 6211 surely x389 every x3605 man 120 [is] vanity. 1892 Selah. 5542

 39:12 Hear 8085 z8798 my prayer, 8605 O LORD, 3068 and give ear 238 z8685 unto my cry; 7775 hold not thy peace 2790 z8799 x408 at x413 my tears: 1832 for x3588 I x595 [am] a stranger 1616 with x5973 thee, [and] a sojourner, 8453 as all x3605 my fathers 1 [were].

 39:13 O spare 8159 z8685 x4480 me, that I may recover strength, 1082 z8686 before x2962 I go x1980 hence, y3212 z8799 and be no x369 more.
