For the Chief Musician. For Jeduthun. A Psalm by David.

1 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.”

2 I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.

3 My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned:

I spoke with my tongue: 4 “Yahweh, show me my end, What is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.

5 Behold, you have made my days handbreadths. My lifetime is as nothing before you.

Surely every man stands as a breath.”

Selah.

6 “Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn’t know who shall gather.

7 Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.

8 Deliver me from all my transgressions. Don’t make me the reproach of the foolish.

9 I was mute. I didn’t open my mouth, Because you did it.

10 Remove your scourge away from me. I am overcome by the blow of your hand.

11 When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity, You consume his wealth like a moth.

Surely every man is but a breath.”

Selah.

12 “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.

13 Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, Before I go away, and be no more.”
