Psalm 39

¹I 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.
²I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
³My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,
⁴Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.
⁵Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
⁶Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
⁷And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
⁸Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
⁹I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
¹⁰Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
¹¹When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.
¹²Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
¹³O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.

14Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.
²He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
³And doth thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
⁴Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
⁵Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
⁶Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
⁷For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
⁸Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
⁹Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
¹⁰But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
¹¹As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
¹²So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
¹³O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
¹⁴If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.

¹³When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
¹⁴And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
¹⁵And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
¹⁶But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
¹⁷And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
¹⁸He said, Bring them hither to me.
¹⁹And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
²⁰And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
²¹And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
