Psalms 39:1-4 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

1. I said, “I will be careful about what I say. I will not let my tongue cause me to sin. I will keep my mouth closed when I am around wicked people.”

2. So I didn’t say anything. I didn’t even say anything good, but I became even more upset.

3. I was very angry, and the more I thought about it, the angrier I became. So I said something.

4. Lord, tell me, what will happen to me now? Tell me, how long will I live? Let me know how short my life really is.
