1 For the leader, for Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
2 I said, “I will watch my ways,lest I sin with my tongue;I will keep a muzzle on my mouth.”
3 Mute and silent before the wicked,I refrain from good things.But my sorrow increases;
4 my heart smolders within me.In my sighing a fire blazes up,and I break into speech:
5 Lord, let me know my end, the number of my days,that I may learn how frail I am.
