| 39:1 | 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. |
| 39:2 | I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred. |
| 39:3 | My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue, |
| 39:4 | LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am. |
| 39:5 | 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. |
| 39:6 | 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. |
| 39:6 | 世人行動實係幻影．他們忙亂、真是枉然．積蓄財寶、不知將來有誰收取。 |
| 39:6 | 世人行动实系幻影。他们忙乱，真是枉然。积蓄财宝，不知将来有谁收取。 |
| job:14:2 | He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. |

| job:27:16 | Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay; |
| job:27:17 | He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. |
| ecc:2:26 | For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit. |
| luk:12:20 | But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? |

| 39:7 | And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. |
| 39:8 | Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish. |
| 39:9 | I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it. |
| 39:10 | Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand. |
| 39:11 | 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. |
| 39:12 | 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. |
| 39:13 | O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more. |
