1 I said, I will look to my ways, lest with my tongue I sin: In sight of wicked men my mouth with bridle I'll keep in. 2 With silence I as dumb became, I did myself restrain From speaking good; but then the more increasèd was my pain.
3 My heart within me waxèd hot; and, while I musing was, The fire did burn; and from my tongue these words I did let pass: 4 Mine end, and measure of my days, O Lord, unto me show What is the same; that I thereby my frailty well may know.
5 Lo, thou my days an handbreadth mad'st; mine age is in thine eye As nothing: sure each man at best is wholly vanity. 6 Sure each man walks in a vain show; they vex themselves in vain: He heaps up wealth, and doth not know to whom it shall pertain.
7 And now, O Lord, what wait I for? my hope is fixed on thee. 8 Free me from all my trespasses, the fool's scorn make not me. 9 Dumb was I, op'ning not my mouth, because this work was thine. 10 Thy stroke take from me; by the blow of thine hand I do pine.
11 When with rebukes thou dost correct man for iniquity, Thou wastes his beauty like a moth: sure each man's vanity.
12 Attend my cry, Lord, at my tears and pray'rs not silent be: I sojourn as my fathers all, and stranger am with thee.
13 O spare thou me, that I my strength recover may again, Before from hence I do depart, and here no more remain.
BIBLE PASSAGE:
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 an 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 shew: 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? 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. 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.
