Evangelical Heritage Version

Psalm 39

Show Me My Life’s End

Heading

For the choir director. For Jeduthun.[a] A psalm by David.

The Psalmist’s Anguish

1 I said, “I will guard my ways
so that I do not sin with my tongue.
I will keep a muzzle on my mouth
    as long as the wicked are confronting me.”
2 I said nothing. I kept silent.
I did not even say anything good,
but my pain became worse.
3 Inside me my heart grew hot.
As I fretted, the fire burned.
So I spoke with my tongue.
