FOR IT IS GOD WHO ORDERS LIFE
Psalm 39
Dwight Armstrong
1.
I said my ways
I'
11 guard with care, Lest with my tongue I sin, 0 God;
2. Then with my tongue I spoke these words: Let me know my
end, 0 God:
3.
0 sure-ly man is but a breath; Like a
shad-ow he goes a -bout:
4.
For it is God who or - ders life; Take a - way Thy stroke from me.

I put a bri- dle on my lips, When in thepres-ence of un-god-ly men.

What is the num- ber of my days; 0 let me know
how fleet-ing is life.
Men are in tur - moil all for nought: Wealth do they gath-er but all in vain.
I am con -sum' d by Thine own hand, When Thou dost chasten man for all his sin.

With si-lence I be-came as dumb; I held my peace but to
no a- vail.
Thou hast made my days as a span; They are as noth-ing in Thy
sight.
Now, 0
God, for what do I wait? My hope in Thee is; my sin for -give.
Man's life is vain and wast-ed a-way; Hear Thou my cry and hold not Thy peace:

Sor-row with-in my heart was stirred; My dis - tress grew h1
ct
as fire:
Sure-ly be -fore Thee all men stand; As a mere breath they stand before Thee.
0 make me not the scorn of
fools: I shall not speak but re-main as dumb.
Spare me that I may glad-ness knqw, 0 God, re-call how fleet-ing is life.
