1 H5329 To the chief Musician [H8764] H3038 , even to Jeduthun H4210 , A Psalm H1732 of David H559 . I said [H8804] H8104 , I will take heed [H8799] H1870 to my ways H2398 , that I sin [H8800] H3956 not with my tongue H8104 : I will keep [H8799] H6310 my mouth H4269 with a bridle H7563 , while the wicked is before me.

2 H481 I was dumb [H8738] H1747 with silence H2814 , I held my peace [H8689] H2896 , even from good H3511 ; and my sorrow H5916 was stirred [H8738] .

3 H3820 My heart H2552 was hot [H8804] H7130 within H1901 me, while I was musing H784 the fire H1197 burned [H8799] H227 : then H1696 spake [H8765] H3956 I with my tongue,

4 H3068 LORD H3045 , make me to know [H8685] H7093 mine end H4060 , and the measure H3117 of my days H3045 , what it is; that I may know [H8799] H2310 how frail I am .

5 H5414 Behold, thou hast made [H8804] H3117 my days H2947 as an handbreadth H2465 ; and mine age H3605 is as nothing before thee: verily every H120 man H5324 at his best state [H8737] H3605 is altogether H1892 vanity H5542 . Selah.

6 H376 Surely every man H1980 walketh [H8691] H6754 in a vain shew H1993 : surely they are disquieted [H8799] H1892 in vain H6651 : he heapeth up [H8799] H3045 riches, and knoweth [H8799] H622 not who shall gather [H8802] them.

7 H136 And now, Lord H6960 , what wait [H8765] H8431 I for? my hope is in thee.

8 H5337 Deliver [H8685] H6588 me from all my transgressions H7760 : make [H8799] H2781 me not the reproach H5036 of the foolish.

9 H481 I was dumb [H8738] H6605 , I opened [H8799] H6310 not my mouth H6213 ; because thou didst [H8804] it .

10 H5493 Remove H5061 thy stroke H5493 away [H8685] H3615 from me: I am consumed [H8804] H8409 by the blow H3027 of thine hand.

11 H8433 When thou with rebukes H3256 dost correct [H8765] H376 man H5771 for iniquity H2530 , thou makest his beauty [H8803] H4529 to consume away [H8686] H6211 like a moth H120 : surely every man H1892 is vanity H5542 . Selah.

12 H8085 Hear [H8798] H8605 my prayer H3068 , O LORD H238 , and give ear [H8685] H7775 unto my cry H2790 ; hold not thy peace [H8799] H1832 at my tears H1616 : for I am a stranger H8453 with thee, and a sojourner H1 , as all my fathers were .

13 H8159 O spare [H8685] H1082 me, that I may recover strength [H8686] H3212 , before I go hence [H8799] , and be no more.
