Psalm 39 — Psalms 39:12–40:4

Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry;
Hold not thy peace at my tears:
For I am a stranger with thee,
A sojourner, as all my fathers were.

Oh spare me, that I may recover strength,
Before I go hence, and be no more.

I waited patiently for Jehovah;
And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay;
And he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God:
Many shall see it, and fear,
And shall trust in Jehovah.

Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust,
And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
