| [1] I sayde [to my selfe] I wyll take heede to my wayes, that I offende not in my tongue: I wyll kepe my mouth as it were with a brydell, whylest the vngodly is in my syght |
[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 became dumbe through scilence, I helde my peace from speakyng of good wordes: but the more was my sorowe increased |
[2]I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred. |
| [3]My heart was hotte within me, and whyle I was thus musyng the fire kyndled: and [at the last] I spake with my tongue |
[3]My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue, |
| [4]O God make me to knowe mine ende, and the number of my dayes: that I may be certified howe long I haue to lyue |
[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 dayes as it were an hand breadth long, & mine age is euen as nothing before thee: truely euery man is al [together] vanitie. Selah |
[5]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. |
| [6]Truely man walketh in a vayne shadowe, truely he [and all his] do disquiet them selues in vayne: he heapeth vp riches, & can not tel who shal vse them |
[6]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. |
| [7]And nowe Lord what wayte I after? truely my hope is euen in thee |
[7]And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. |
| [8]Delyuer me from all my offences: and make me not a rebuke vnto the foolishe |
[8]Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish. |
| [9]I became dumbe, and opened not my mouth: for it was thy doyng |
[9]I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it. |
| [10]Take thy plague away from me: I am euen consumed by the meanes of thy heauy hande |
[10]Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand. |
| [11]Thou doest chasten man, rebukyng him for sinne: thou as a moth doest consume his excellencie, for in very deede euery man is but vanitie. Selah |
[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]Heare my prayer O God, and geue eares to my crying, holde not thy peace at my teares: for I am a strauger with thee, and a soiourner as all my fathers were |
[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]Oh spare me a litle, that I may recouer my strength: before I go hence, and be no more [seene. |
[13]O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more. |
