Psalms 39:1


← Psalms 38:22 Psalms 39:1 (KJV) Psalms 39:2 →
Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. 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.
I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
