Salmos 39— comparação

1Eu disse: “Vigiarei os meus caminhos, para não pecar com a minha língua.

2Fiquei mudo, em silêncio.

3Meu coração ardia dentro de mim.

4“SENHOR, mostra-me o meu fim,

5Eis que fizeste os meus dias da largura de palmos.

6“Certamente todo homem anda como uma sombra.

7Agora, Senhor, o que eu espero?

8Livra-me de todas as minhas transgressões.

9Fiquei mudo.

10Remove de mim o teu flagelo.

11Quando repreendes e corriges o homem por causa da iniquidade,

12“Ouve a minha oração, SENHOR, e dá ouvidos ao meu clamor.

13Oh, poupa-me, para que eu recupere as forças,

1I 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.”

2I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.

3My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned. I spoke with my tongue:

4“Yahweh, show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.

5Behold, you have made my days hand widths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath.” s Selah. s*

6“Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn’t know who shall gather.

7Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.

8Deliver me from all my transgressions. Don’t make me the reproach of the foolish.

9I was mute. I didn’t open my mouth, because you did it.

10Remove your scourge away from me. I am overcome by the blow of your hand.

11When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity, you consume his wealth like a moth. Surely every man is but a breath.” s Selah. s*

12“Hear my prayer, Yahweh, and give ear to my cry. Don’t be silent at my tears. For I am a stranger with you, a foreigner, as all my fathers were.

13Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go away and exist no more.”
