Psalmi 39

VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 In finem. Psalmus ipsi David.	1 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.
2 Exspectans exspectavi Dominum, et intendit mihi.	2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
3 Et exaudivit preces meas, et eduxit me de lacu miseriæ et de luto fæcis. Et statuit super petram pedes meos, et direxit gressus meos.	3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,
4 Et immisit in os meum canticum novum, carmen Deo nostro. Videbunt multi, et timebunt, et sperabunt in Domino.	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 Beatus vir cujus est nomen Domini spes ejus, et non respexit in vanitates et insanias falsas.	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 Multa fecisti tu, Domine Deus meus, mirabilia tua ; et cogitationibus tuis non est qui similis sit tibi. Annuntiavi et locutus sum : multiplicati sunt super numerum.	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 Sacrificium et oblationem noluisti ; aures autem perfecisti mihi. Holocaustum et pro peccato non postulasti ;	7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
8 tunc dixi : Ecce venio. In capite libri scriptum est de me,	8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9 ut facerem voluntatem tuam. Deus meus, volui, et legem tuam in medio cordis mei.	9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
10 Annuntiavi justitiam tuam in ecclesia magna ; ecce labia mea non prohibebo : Domine, tu scisti.	10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
11 Justitiam tuam non abscondi in corde meo ; veritatem tuam et salutare tuum dixi ; non abscondi misericordiam tuam et veritatem tuam a concilio multo.	11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.
12 Tu autem, Domine, ne longe facias miserationes tuas a me ; misericordia tua et veritas tua semper susceperunt me.	12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
13 Quoniam circumdederunt me mala quorum non est numerus ; comprehenderunt me iniquitates meæ, et non potui ut viderem. Multiplicatæ sunt super capillos capitis mei, et cor meum dereliquit me.	13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
14 Complaceat tibi, Domine, ut eruas me ; Domine, ad adjuvandum me respice.
15 Confundantur et revereantur simul, qui quærunt animam meam ut auferant eam ; convertantur retrorsum et revereantur, qui volunt mihi mala.
16 Ferant confestim confusionem suam, qui dicunt mihi : Euge, euge !
17 Exsultent et lætentur super te omnes quærentes te ; et dicant semper : Magnificetur Dominus, qui diligunt salutare tuum.
18 Ego autem mendicus sum et pauper ; Dominus sollicitus est mei. Adjutor meus et protector meus tu es ; Deus meus, ne tardaveris.
