Psalm 38
1 Unto the end, for Idithun
himself, a canticle of David.
2 I said: I will take heed to my ways : that I sin not
with my tongue. I have set guard to my mouth, when the sinner stood against me.
3 I was dumb, and was humbled, and kept silence from
good things : and my sorrow was renewed.
4 My heart grew hot within me : and in my meditation a
fire shall flame out.
5 I spoke with my tongue : O Lord, make me know my end.
And what is the number of my days : that I may know what is wanting to me.
6 Behold thou hast made my days measurable : and my
substance is as nothing before thee. And indeed all things are vanity : every
man living.
7 Surely man passeth as an image : yea, and he is
disquieted in vain. He storeth up : and he knoweth not for whom he shall gather
these things.
8 And now what is my hope? is it not the Lord? and my
substance is with thee.
9 Deliver thou me from all my iniquities : thou hast
made me a reproach to the fool.
10 I was dumb, and I opened not my mouth, because thou
hast done it.
11 Remove thy scourges from me. The strength of thy
hand hath made me faint in rebukes:
12 thou hast corrected man for iniquity. And thou hast
made his soul to waste away like a spider : surely in vain is any man
disquieted.
13 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and my supplication : give
ear to my tears. Be not silent : for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner
as all my fathers were.
14 O forgive me, that I may be refreshed, before I go
hence, and be no more.
