Psalm Chapter 39

Ps 39

Eminent with Jeduthun and set to poem by David. 

1 it is said, to preserve yourself from sinning with your tongue on the way, a muzzle/checkpoint should be on your mouth, and you will be preserved from the wicked.

2 it is good to keep quiet and be mute for the sake of quietness/stillness - when your mood is fouled with grief/pain. 

3 when the heart inside is hot/inflamed because someone is rehearsing things with tongue, murmuring/musing at this time can be like kindling th fire.

4 Jehovah knows when it will be the end and even knows when it will be full measure that days will cease/discontinue.

5 Everyone is given a palm-breadth of lifespan, and the days for everyone to be stationed/to take his stand like Adam shall be for transient things. Pause:

6 we know that men walk around as images/phantom - and they assemble for uproar and to amass transient things;

7 our expectations is in waiting for Adonay,

8 He will deliver us from the reproach, put on us from the (international) revolt of the villain (Nabal);

9 He will open His mouth wide and silence things about what has been done;

10 in HIS Hand, the ordeal will be turned away and the blow/infliction will be brought to an end. 

11 He will discipline men, as a test/proof for those who will delight in His correction other than perversity as of Adam and transient things which are like (consumable) grass; Pause:

12 Jehovah who listen to the intercession (tephillah) of our fathers as sojourners and their weeping as strangers, will give ears to things we devise in silence with a cry for freedom.

13 but sometimes you walk around to mingle and gaze closely at things.
