MRPC: Psalm 39B

Psalm 39B: Psalm 39:7-13

Eventide, 10.10.10.10. [G]

5. ⁷ "And now, O Lord, what wait I longer for?
My expectation ever is in Thee;
⁸ Deliver me from all my sinfulness;
The scorn of foolish men O make not me.

6. ⁹ "Yes, I was dumb; I opened not my mouth,
Because this work was done at thy command.
¹⁰ But now remove Thy stroke away from me;
I am consumed beneath Thy smiting hand.

7. ¹¹ "Thou with rebukes dost chasten man for sin;
His beauty fades beneath the touch of death;
It is consumed as by the fretting moth.
Oh, surely every man is but a breath.

8. ¹² "LORD, hear my prayers; heed Thou my cry and tears;
A stranger here I pass as all before.
¹³ O spare me that I may recover strength
Before I go away and be no more."
