Ps 39 (King James)

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 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
³ My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,
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 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 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 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
⁸ Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
⁹ I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
¹⁰ Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
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 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 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.

Ps 39 (Vulgate)

¹ In finem. Psalmus ipsi David.
² [Exspectans exspectavi Dominum, et intendit mihi.
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.
⁴ Et immisit in os meum canticum novum, carmen Deo nostro. Videbunt multi, et timebunt, et sperabunt in Domino.
⁵ Beatus vir cujus est nomen Domini spes ejus, et non respexit in vanitates et insanias falsas.
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.
⁷ Sacrificium et oblationem noluisti ; aures autem perfecisti mihi. Holocaustum et pro peccato non postulasti ;
⁸ tunc dixi : Ecce venio. In capite libri scriptum est de me,
⁹ ut facerem voluntatem tuam. Deus meus, volui, et legem tuam in medio cordis mei.
¹⁰ Annuntiavi justitiam tuam in ecclesia magna ; ecce labia mea non prohibebo : Domine, tu scisti.
¹¹ Justitiam tuam non abscondi in corde meo ; veritatem tuam et salutare tuum dixi ; non abscondi misericordiam tuam et veritatem tuam a concilio multo.
¹² Tu autem, Domine, ne longe facias miserationes tuas a me ; misericordia tua et veritas tua semper susceperunt me.
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.
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.]
