Psalm 39:7–9

7 “But now, Lord, what do I look for?

My hope is in you.

8 Save me from all my transgressions;

do not make me the scorn of fools.

9 I was silent; I would not open my mouth,

for you are the one who has done this.

7 And now, Lord, what wait I for?

My hope is in thee.

8 Deliver me from all my transgressions:

Make me not the reproach of the foolish.

9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth;

Because thou didst it.

7 And so, Lord, where do I put my hope?

My only hope is in you.

8 Rescue me from my rebellion.

Do not let fools mock me.

9 I am silent before you; I won’t say a word,

for my punishment is from you.

7 “And now, Lord, what do I wait for?

My hope is in You.

8 Deliver me from all my transgressions;

Do not make me the reproach of the foolish.

9 I was mute, I did not open my mouth,

Because it was You who did it.

7 “So, Lord, what hope do I have?

You are my hope.

8 Save me from all my sins.

Don’t let wicked fools make fun of me.

9 I am quiet; I do not open my mouth,

because you are the one who has done this.

7 And now, Lord, what wait I for?

My hope is in thee.

8 Deliver me from all my transgressions:

Make me not the reproach of the foolish.

9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth;

Because thou didst it.

7 And now, what wait I for, Lord? my hope is in thee. 8 Deliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the reproach of the foolish. 9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; for thou hast done it.

7 And now, Lord, what am I waiting for? 

My hope is in you! 

8 Rescue me from all my rebellious acts. 

Do not disgrace me in front of godless fools. 

9 I remained speechless. 

I did not open my mouth 

because you are the one who has done this. 

7 Now, Lord, what do I wait for?

My hope is in You.

8 Deliver me from all my transgressions;

do not make me the taunt of fools.

9 I am speechless; I do not open my mouth

because of what You have done.

7 “And now, O Lord, what do I wait for?

My hope is in you.

8 Deliver me from all my transgressions.

Do not make me the scorn of the fool.

9 I am silent; I do not open my mouth,

for it is you who have done it.

7 And now, O Lord, for what do I wait?

My hope is for you.

8 From all my transgressions deliver me;

do not make me the taunt of the fool.

9 I am mute. I do not open my mouth,

for you, yourself, have done it.

7 “Lord, what can I look forward to now?

You are the only hope I have.

8 Save me from all the wrong things I’ve done.

Don’t let foolish people make fun of me.

9 I keep silent. I don’t open my mouth.

You are the one who has caused all of this to happen.

7 “And now, Lord, for what do I wait?

My hope is in You.

8 “Deliver me from all my transgressions;

Make me not the reproach of the foolish.

9 “I have become mute, I do not open my mouth,

Because it is You who have done it.
