      | ¶ | [[To the chief Musician, [even] to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.]] 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. | |
  | I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, [even] from good; and my sorrow was stirred. | ||
| My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: [then] spake I with my tongue, | ||
| LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it [is; that] I may know how frail I [am]. | ||
| Behold, thou hast made my days [as] an handbreadth; and mine age [is] as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state [is] altogether vanity. Selah. | ||
| Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not who shall gather them. | ||
 | And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope [is] in thee. | ||
| Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish. | ||
| I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst [it]. | ||
| Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand. | ||
| 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. | ||
| 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. |
