Psalm

¹I 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. ²I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; And my sorrow was stirred. ³My heart was hot within me; While I was musing the fire burned: Then spake I with my tongue: ⁴Jehovah, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how frail I am. ⁵Behold, thou hast made my days as handbreadths; And my life-time is as nothing before thee: Surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. ⁶Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. ⁷And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee.
