Study the Bible in Basic English : Psalm for the day #39

Psalms 39 1. <To the chief music-maker. Of Jeduthun. A Psalm. Of David.> I said, I will give attention to my ways, so that my tongue may do no wrong; I will keep my mouth under control, while the sinner is before me. 2. I made no sound, I said no word, even of good; and I was moved with sorrow. 3. My heart was burning in my breast; while I was deep in thought the fire was lighted; then I said with my tongue, 4. Lord, give me knowledge of my end, and of the measure of my days, so that I may see how feeble I am. 5. You have made my days no longer than a hand's measure; and my years are nothing in your eyes; truly, every man is but a breath. (Selah.) ; AB Lausanne church
