Psalms 38:15
15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

CHAPTER 39
Psalms 39:1

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.

that I may know how frail I am.

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.

my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers
were.

13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no
more.
