3.2 KiB

# Psalm 39 (New King James Version) Prayer for Wisdom and Forgiveness

Chapter 39
1 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."

2 I was mute with silence,

I held my peace even from good;
And my sorrow was stirred up.

3 My heart was hot within me;

While I was musing, the fire burned.
Then I spoke with my tongue:

4 "Lord, make me to know my end,

And what is the measure of my days,
That I may know how frail I am.

5 Indeed, 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. Selah

6 Surely 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.

7 "And now, Lord, what do I wait for?

My hope is in You.

8 Deliver me from all my transgressions;

Do not make me the reproach of the foolish.

9 I was mute, I did not open my mouth,

Because it was You who did it.

10 Remove Your plague from me;

I am consumed by the blow of Your hand.

11 When with rebukes You correct man for iniquity,

You make his beauty melt away like a moth;
Surely every man is vapor. Selah

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.

13 Remove Your gaze from me, that I may regain strength,

Before I go away and am no more."
