Psalm 39:2-4

English Standard Version Anglicised

² I was ^(A)mute and silent;
    I held my peace to no avail,
and my distress grew worse.
³     My ^(B)heart became hot within me.
As I mused, the fire burned;
    then I spoke with my tongue:
⁴ “O Lord, ^(C)make me know my end
    and what is the measure of my days;
    let me know how fleeting I am!
