| 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 a handbreadth;| | | and mine age is as nothing before thee: | | verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah. |
|
| | 6 | Surely every man walketh in a vain show:| | | surely they are disquieted in vain: | | he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. |
|
| | 7 | And now, Lord, what wait I for? | | 8 | Deliver me from all my transgressions:| | | make me not the reproach of the foolish. |
|
| | 9 | I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; | | 10 | Remove thy stroke away from me:| | | I am consumed by the blow of thine hand. |
|
| | 11 | When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity,| | | thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: | | surely every man 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 fathers were. |
|
| | 13 | O spare me, that I may recover strength,| | | before I go hence, and be no more. |
