Psalms 39:1–6

1

I said, “I will watch my ways, so that I don’t sin with my tongue.

I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me.”

My heart was hot within me.

While I meditated, the fire burned.

I spoke with my tongue:

6

“Surely every man walks like a shadow.

Surely they busy themselves in vain.

He heaps up, and doesn’t know who shall gather.
