- 0:02Speaker 1: Psalm thirty nine for the Chief Musician for Jennathan, a
- 0:06Speaker 1: psalm by David. I said, I will watch my ways
- 0:10Speaker 1: so that I don't sin with my tongue. I will
- 0:13Speaker 1: keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is
- 0:15Speaker 1: before me. I was mute with silence. I held my
- 0:19Speaker 1: peace even from good. My sorrow was stirred. My heart

- 1:07Speaker 1: When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity you consume

- 1:14Speaker 1: a breath. Hear my prayer, Yahweh, and give ear to
- 1:17Speaker 1: my cry. Don't be silent at my tears, for I
- 1:20Speaker 1: am a stranger with you, a sojourner as all my
- 1:23Speaker 1: fathers were. Oh, spare me that I may recover strength
- 1:27Speaker 1: before I go away and be no more
