39:1I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a muzzle, while the wicked is before me.
39:2I was dumb with silence, I held my peace from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
39:3My heart burned within me; the fire was kindled in my musing: I spoke with my tongue,
39:4Make me to know, Jehovah, mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: I shall know how frail I am.
39:5Behold, thou hast made my days as hand-breadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before thee; verily, every man, even the high placed, is altogether vanity. Selah.
39:6Verily, man walketh in a vain show; verily they are disquieted in vain; he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
39:7And now, what wait I for, Lord? my hope is in thee.
39:8Deliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the reproach of the foolish.
39:9I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; for *thou* hast done it.
39:10Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.
39:11When thou with rebukes dost correct a man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely, every man is vanity. Selah.
39:12Hear my prayer, Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; be not silent at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, like all my fathers.
39:13Look away from me, and let me recover strength, before I go hence and be no more.
62:1Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.
62:2He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.
62:3How long will ye assail a man; will ye seek, all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?
62:4They only consult to thrust him down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. Selah.
62:5Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.
62:6He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.
62:7With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
62:8Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. Selah.
62:9Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together lighter than vanity.
62:10Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.
62:11Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength belongeth unto God.
62:12And unto thee, O Lord, belongeth loving-kindness; for *thou* renderest to every man according to his work.
77:1My voice is unto God, and I will cry; my voice is unto God, and he will give ear unto me.
77:2In the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; my soul refused to be comforted.
77:3I remembered God, and I moaned; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
77:4Thou holdest open mine eyelids; I am full of disquiet and cannot speak.
77:5I consider the days of old, the years of ancient times.
77:6I remember my song in the night; I muse in mine own heart, and my spirit maketh diligent search.
77:7Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
77:8Hath his loving-kindness ceased for ever? hath his word come to an end from generation to generation?
77:9Hath *God forgotten to be gracious? or hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
77:10Then said I, This is my weakness: -- the years of the right hand of the Most High
77:11Will I remember, -- the works of Jah; for I will remember thy wonders of old,
77:12And I will meditate upon all thy work, and muse upon thy doings.
77:13O God, thy way is in the sanctuary: who is so great a *god as God?
77:14Thou art the *God that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy strength among the peoples.
77:15Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
77:16The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they trembled, yea, the depths were troubled:
77:17The thick clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound, yea, thine arrows went abroad:
77:18The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind, lightnings lit up the world; the earth was troubled and it quaked.
77:19Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths are in the great waters; and thy footsteps are not known.
77:20Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
