← Psalms 39:12	Psalms 39:13 (KJV)	Psalms 40:1 →
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 fathers [were].	O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.	To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
