Psalms 39:4-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 39
4
'
Lord
, let me know my end,
And what is the extent of my days;
Let me know how transient I am.
5
Behold, You have made my days
like
hand widths,
And my lifetime as nothing in Your sight;
Certainly all mankind standing is a mere breath.
Selah
6
Certainly every person walks around as a fleeting shadow;
They certainly make an uproar for nothing;
He amasses
riches
and does not know who will gather them.
7
'And now, Lord, for what do I wait?
My hope is in You.
8
Save me from all my wrongdoings;
Do not make me an
object of
reproach for the foolish.
9
I have become mute, I do not open my mouth,
Because it is You who have done
it.
King James Version
Chapter 39
4
Lord
, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.
5
Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
6
Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
7
And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
8
Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9
I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 39
4
"
Lord
, make me aware of my end
and the number of my days
so that I will know how short-lived I am.
5
In fact, you have made my days just inches long,
and my life span is as nothing to you.
Yes, every human being stands as only a vapor.
Selah
6
Yes, a person goes about like a mere shadow.
Indeed, they rush around in vain,
gathering possessions
without knowing who will get them.
7
"Now, Lord, what do I wait for?
My hope is in you.
8
Rescue me from all my transgressions;
do not make me the taunt of fools.
9
I am speechless; I do not open my mouth
because of what you have done.
New Living Translation
Chapter 39
4
'
Lord
, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
Remind me that my days are numbered —
how fleeting my life is.
5
You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.
My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;
at best, each of us is but a breath.'
Interlude
6
We are merely moving shadows,
and all our busy rushing ends in nothing.
We heap up wealth,
not knowing who will spend it.
7
And so, Lord, where do I put my hope?
My only hope is in you.
8
Rescue me from my rebellion.
Do not let fools mock me.
9
I am silent before you; I won’t say a word,
for my punishment is from you.
English Standard Version
Chapter 39
4
"O
Lord
, make me know my end
and what is the measure of my days;
let me know how fleeting I am!
5
Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,
and my lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath!
Selah
6
Surely a man goes about as a shadow!
Surely for nothing they are in turmoil;
man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!
7
"And now, O Lord, for what do I wait?
My hope is in you.
8
Deliver me from all my transgressions.
Do not make me the scorn of the fool!
9
I am mute; I do not open my mouth,
for it is you who have done it.
New International Version
Chapter 39
4
"Show me,
Lord
, my life’s end
and the number of my days;
let me know how fleeting my life is.
5
You have made my days a mere handbreadth;
the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath,
even those who seem secure.
6
"Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom;
in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth
without knowing whose it will finally be.
7
"But now, Lord, what do I look for?
My hope is in you.
8
Save me from all my transgressions;
do not make me the scorn of fools.
9
I was silent; I would not open my mouth,
for you are the one who has done this.
New King James Version
Chapter 39
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.
