American Standard Version
"My heart was hot within me; While I was musing the fire burned; Then spake I with my tongue: "
— Psalms 39:3, American Standard Version
“My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,”
“My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned: I spoke with my tongue:”
“my anxiety intensified. As I thought about it, I became impatient. Finally I spoke these words:”
“And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs. And he set my feet upon a rock, and directed my steps.”
“My heart was burning in my breast; while I was deep in thought the fire was lighted; then I said with my tongue,”
“My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,”
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.
I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; And my sorrow was stirred.
My heart was hot within me; While I was musing the fire burned; Then spake I with my tongue:
Jehovah, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how frail I am.
Behold, thou hast made my daysas handbreadths; And my life-time is as nothing before thee: Surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. [Selah
Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
