FOR JEDUTHUN, THE CHOIR DIRECTOR: A PSALM OF DAVID


Psalm 39


1 I said to myself, I will watch what I do
and not sin in what I say.
I will curb my tongue
when the ungodly are around me.
2 But as I stood there in silence
not even speaking of good things
the turmoil within me grew to the bursting point.
3 My thoughts grew hot within me
and began to burn,
igniting a fire of words:
4 LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
Remind me that my days are numbered,
and that my life is fleeing away.
5 My life is no longer than the width of my hand.
An entire lifetime is just a moment to you
human existence is but a breath.
Interlude
6 We are merely moving shadows,
and all our busy rushing ends in nothing.
We heap up wealth for someone else to spend.
7 And so, Lord, where do I put my hope
My only hope is in you.
8 Rescue me from my rebellion,
for even fools mock me when I rebel.
8 I am silent before you I won t say a word.
9 For my punishment is from you.
