I Will Watch My Ways
{To the chief Musician, 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 muzzle, while the wicked is before me.
{To the chief Musician, 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 muzzle, while the wicked is before me.
So I remained utterly silent,
not even saying anything good.
But my anguish increased;
not even saying anything good.
But my anguish increased;
I was dumb with silence, I held my peace from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
my heart grew hot within me.
While I meditated, the fire burned;
then I spoke with my tongue:
While I meditated, the fire burned;
then I spoke with my tongue:
My heart burned within me; the fire was kindled in my musing: I spoke with my tongue,
“Show me, Lord, my life’s end
and the number of my days;
let me know how fleeting my life is.
and the number of my days;
let me know how fleeting my life is.
Make me to know, Jehovah, mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: I shall know how frail I am.
Behold, thou hast made my days [as] hand-breadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before thee; verily, every man, [even] the high placed, is altogether vanity. Selah.
“Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom;
in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth
without knowing whose it will finally be.
in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth
without knowing whose it will finally be.
Verily, man walketh in a vain show; verily they are disquieted in vain; he heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not who shall gather them.
“But now, Lord, what do I look for?
My hope is in you.
My hope is in you.
And now, what wait I for, Lord? my hope is in thee.
Save me from all my transgressions;
do not make me the scorn of fools.
do not make me the scorn of fools.
Deliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the reproach of the foolish.
I was silent; I would not open my mouth,
for you are the one who has done this.
for you are the one who has done this.
I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; for *thou* hast done [it].
Remove your scourge from me;
I am overcome by the blow of your hand.
I am overcome by the blow of your hand.
Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.
When you rebuke and discipline anyone for their sin,
you consume their wealth like a moth —
surely everyone is but a breath.
you consume their wealth like a moth —
surely everyone is but a breath.
When thou with rebukes dost correct a man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely, every man is vanity. Selah.
“Hear my prayer, Lord,
listen to my cry for help;
do not be deaf to my weeping.
I dwell with you as a foreigner,
a stranger, as all my ancestors were.
listen to my cry for help;
do not be deaf to my weeping.
I dwell with you as a foreigner,
a stranger, as all my ancestors were.
Hear my prayer, Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; be not silent at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, like all my fathers.
