I said, "I will watch my ways
and keep my tongue from sin;
I will put a muzzle on my mouth
as long as the wicked are in my presence."
But when I was silent and still,
not even saying anything good,
my anguish increased.
My heart grew hot within me,
and as I meditated, the fire burned;
then I spoke with my tongue:
"Show me, O Lord, my life's end
and the number of my days;
let me know how fleeting is myo life.
You have made my days a mere handbreath;
the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Each man's life is but a breath. Selah
Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro:
He bustle about, but only in vain,
he heaps up wealth, not knowing who will get it.
But now, Lord, what do I look for?
My hope is in you.
Save me from all my transgressions;
do not make me the scorn of fools.
I was silent; I would not open my mouth,
for you are the one who has done this.
Remove your scourge from me;
I am overcome by the blow of your hand.
You rebuke and discipline men for their sin,
you consume their wealth like a moth —
each man is but a breath. Selah
Look away from me, that I may rejoice again
before I depart and am no more."
When We Speak Foolishly
and keep my tongue from sin;
I will put a muzzle on my mouth
as long as the wicked are in my presence."

When We Speak Foolishly
When
former law professor Philip E. Johnson had a stroke, he was so afraid
of being mentally and physically impaired that he wished the doctor
would give him a painless death. He said, "That was a foolish thought, of course, but not the last foolish thought I was to have."
In my own pastoral ministry, I've heard some of God's children express thoughts worse than Johnson's - even rebellious words against God.
Psalm 39 offers comfort to people who regret the thoughtless things they've said in times of despair. David was gravely ill and desperate when he wrote the psalm. At first he kept silent lest he speak foolishly (Psalm 39:1-3). But when he could contain himself no longer, he prayed a wonderful prayer (Psalm 39:4-9).
But in verses 10 and 11 his tone began to change. According to the British scholar Derek Kidner, David spoke foolishly when he said, "Look away from me . . . before I depart and am no more" (Psalm 39:13). David expressed a hopeless attitude toward death and said to God, in effect, "Leave me alone." Kidner comments that God included this prayer in the Bible to reassure us that when we say things out of desperation He understands. And when we tell Him how sorry we are, He graciously forgives.
