39:1
I said, "I will be careful about what I do and will not let my tongue
make me sin; I will not say anything while evil people are near." |
39:2
I kept quiet, not saying a word, not even about anything good! But my
suffering only grew worse, |
39:3
and I was overcome with anxiety. The more I thought, the more troubled I
became; I could not keep from asking: |
39:4
" LORD, how long will I live? When will I die? Tell me how soon my life
will end." |
39:5
How short you have made my life! In your sight my lifetime seems nothing.
Indeed every living being is no more than a puff of wind, |
39:6
no more than a shadow. All we do is for nothing; we gather wealth, but don't
know who will get it. |
39:7
What, then, can I hope for, Lord? I put my hope in you. |
39:8
Save me from all my sins, and don't let fools make fun of me. |
39:9
I will keep quiet, I will not say a word, for you are the one who made me
suffer like this. |
39:10
Don't punish me any more! I am about to die from
your blows. |
39:11
You punish our sins by your rebukes, and like a moth you destroy what we love.
Indeed we are no more than a puff of wind! |
39:12
Hear my prayer, LORD, and listen to my cry; come to my aid when I weep. Like
all my ancestors I am only your guest for a little while. |
39:13
Leave me alone so that I may have some happiness before I go away and am no
more. |
