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 kindled: {cf15i then} spake I with my tongue: |
4
|
LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; let me know how frail I am. |
5
|
Behold, thou hast made my days {cf15i as} handbreadths; and mine age is as nothing before thee: surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. {cf15i Selah} |
6
|
Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up {cf15i 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 man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. {cf15i 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, a sojourner, as all my fathers were. |
13
|
O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more. |
