What Is the Measure of My Days?
To the choirmaster: to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
I said, “I will guard my ways,
that I may not sin with my tongue;
I will guard my mouth with a muzzle,
so long as the wicked are in my presence.”

I said, “I will guard my ways,
that I may not sin with my tongue;
I will guard my mouth with a muzzle,
so long as the wicked are in my presence.”
I Will Watch My Ways
{To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.} 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 and silent;
I held my peace to no avail,
and my distress grew worse.
I held my peace to no avail,
and my distress grew worse.
I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
My heart became hot within me.
As I mused, the fire burned;
then I spoke with my tongue:
As I mused, the fire burned;
then I spoke with my tongue:
My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,
“O Lord, make me know my end
and what is the measure of my days;
let me know how fleeting I am!
and what is the measure of my days;
let me know how fleeting 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 a few handbreadths,
and my lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah
and my lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely all mankind stands as a mere 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 walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
“And now, O Lord, for what do I wait?
My hope is in you.
My hope is in you.
And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
Deliver me from all my transgressions.
Do not make me the scorn of the fool!
Do not make me the scorn of the fool!
Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
I am mute; I do not open my mouth,
for it is you who have done it.
for it is you who have done it.
I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
Remove your stroke from me;
I am spent by the hostility of your hand.
I am spent by the hostility of your hand.
Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
When you discipline a man
with rebukes for sin,
you consume like a moth what is dear to him;
surely all mankind is a mere breath! Selah
with rebukes for sin,
you consume like a moth what is dear to him;
surely all mankind is a mere 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, O Lord,
and give ear to my cry;
hold not your peace at my tears!
For I am a sojourner with you,
a guest, like all my fathers.
and give ear to my cry;
hold not your peace at my tears!
For I am a sojourner with you,
a guest, like all my fathers.
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.
