World English Bible
"My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned: I spoke with my tongue:"
— Psalms 39:3, World English Bible
“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 was musing the fire burned; Then spake I 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 watch my ways, so that I don't sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me."
I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.
My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned: I spoke with my tongue:
"Yahweh, show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.
Behold, you have made my days handbreadths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath." Selah.
"Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn't know who shall gather.
