>
I said, "
I will watch
my ways, so
that I don't
sin with my tongue .
I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me. "
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 mute
with silence .
I held my peace, even from good .
My sorrow was stirred.
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 meditated,
the fire burned: I spoke
with my tongue :
My heart was hot within me ,
while I was
musing
the fire burned: then
spake
I with my tongue ,
"Yahweh
, show
me my
end, What
is
the measure of my days .
Let
me
know how frail I am.
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, you
have
made my days handbreadths.
My
lifetime
is as nothing before you.
Surely
every man stands
as
a
breath
. "
Selah.
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 walks
like
a shadow.
Surely they busy
themselves
in vain .
He heaps
up, and doesn't
know
who shall gather.
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
.
Now, Lord, what do
I
wait for? My hope is in you
.
And
now, Lord, what wait I
for? my hope is in thee
.
Deliver me from all my transgressions .
Don't
make me the reproach of the foolish.
Deliver me from all my transgressions :
make me not
the reproach of the foolish.
I was mute.
I didn't
open
my mouth ,
Because you
did
it.
I was dumb,
I opened
not
my mouth ;
because thou
didst
it.
Remove your
scourge
away from me .
I am overcome
by the blow of your
hand.
Remove thy
stroke
away from me :
I am consumed
by the blow of thine
hand.
When you
rebuke
and
correct man for iniquity, You
consume
his wealth
like a moth .
Surely every man is but
a
breath
. "
Selah.
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, Yahweh
, and give ear to
my cry .
Don't
be
silent
at my tears .
For I am a stranger with you
, A foreigner
, as all my fathers were.
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.
Oh
spare me, that I may recover strength, Before I go away
, and be no more. "
O
spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence
, and be no more.
