God is SHE/God is THEY Psalms

Psalm 39

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
1. I 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.
2. I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
3. My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,
4. Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.
5. Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every person at her best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
6. Surely every person walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: she heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
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.
10. Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
11. When thou with rebukes dost correct a person for iniquity, thou makest her beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every person is vanity. Selah.
12. Hear 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 ancestors were.
13. O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
