[1]To the chief MusicianH5329[H8764], even to JeduthunH3038, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. I saidH559[H8804], I will take heedH8104[H8799] to my waysH1870, that I sinH2398[H8800] not with my tongueH3956: I will keepH8104[H8799] my mouthH6310 with a bridleH4269, while the wicked is before meH7563.
[2]I was dumbH481[H8738] with silenceH1747, I held my peaceH2814[H8689], even from goodH2896; and my sorrowH3511 was stirredH5916.[H8738]
[3]My heartH3820 was hotH2552[H8804] withinH7130 me, while I was musingH1901 the fireH784 burnedH1197[H8799]: thenH227 spakeH1696[H8765] I with my tongueH3956,
[4]LORDH3068, make me to knowH3045[H8685] mine endH7093, and the measureH4060 of my daysH3117, what it is; that I may knowH3045[H8799] how frail I amH2310.
[5]Behold, thou hast madeH5414[H8804] my daysH3117 as an handbreadthH2947; and mine ageH2465 is as nothing before thee: verily everyH3605 manH120 at his best stateH5324[H8737] is altogetherH3605 vanityH1892. SelahH5542.
[6]Surely every manH376 walkethH1980[H8691] in a vain shewH6754: surely they are disquietedH1993[H8799] in vainH1892: he heapeth upH6651[H8799] riches, and knowethH3045[H8799] not who shall gatherH622 themH8802.
[7]And now, LordH136, what waitH6960[H8765] I for? my hope is in theeH8431.
[8]DeliverH5337[H8685] me from all my transgressionsH6588: makeH7760[H8799] me not the reproachH2781 of the foolishH5036.
[9]I was dumbH481[H8738], I openedH6605[H8799] not my mouthH6310; because thou didstH6213 itH8804.
[10]RemoveH5493 thy strokeH5061 awayH5493[H8685] from me: I am consumedH3615[H8804] by the blowH8409 of thine handH3027.
[11]When thou with rebukesH8433 dost correctH3256[H8765] manH376 for iniquityH5771, thou makest his beautyH2530[H8803] to consume awayH4529[H8686] like a mothH6211: surely every manH120 is vanityH1892. SelahH5542.
[12]HearH8085[H8798] my prayerH8605, O LORDH3068, and give earH238[H8685] unto my cryH7775; hold not thy peaceH2790[H8799] at my tearsH1832: for I am a strangerH1616 with thee, and a sojournerH8453, as all my fathers wereH1.
[13]O spareH8159[H8685] me, that I may recover strengthH1082[H8686], before I go henceH3212, and be no moreH8799.
