Psalms 39:2 BBE

¹  To the chief music-maker. Of Jeduthun. A Psalm. Of David.I said, I will give attention to my ways, so that my tongue may do no wrong; I will keep my mouth under control, while the sinner is before me.

²  I made no sound, I said no word, even of good; and I was moved with sorrow.

³  My heart was burning in my breast; while I was deep in thought the fire was lighted; then I said with my tongue,

⁴  Lord, give me knowledge of my end, and of the measure of my days, so that I may see how feeble I am.
