Psalms 39:1

Prayer for Wisdom and Forgiveness

To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1 I said, “I will guard my ways,
Lest I sin with my ^atongue;
I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle,
While the wicked are before me.”

2 ^aI was mute with silence,
I held my peace even from good;
And my sorrow was stirred up.

3 My heart was hot within me;
While I was¹ musing, the fire burned.
Then I spoke with my tongue:

4 “Lord, ^amake me to know my end,
And what is the measure of my days,
That I may know how frail I am.
