Part 21

19:038:008 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

19:038:009 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

19:038:010 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

19:038:011 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

19:038:012 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

19:038:013 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

19:038:014 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

19:038:015 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

19:038:016 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

19:038:017 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

19:038:018 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

19:038:019 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

19:038:020 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

19:038:021 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

19:038:022 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

19:039:001 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.

19:039:002 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.

19:039:003 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,

19:039:004 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.

19:039:005 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.

19:039:006 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.

19:039:007 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.

19:039:008 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.

19:039:009 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.

19:039:010 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.

19:039:011 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.

19:039:012 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.

19:039:013 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
