To the chief MusicianH5329, even to JeduthunH3038, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. I saidH559, I will take heedH8104 to my waysH1870, that I sinH2398 not with my tongueH3956: I will keepH8104 my mouthH6310 with a bridleH4269, while the wickedH7563 is before me. {my mouth…: Heb. a bridle, or, muzzle for my mouth}
I was dumbH481 with silenceH1747, I held my peaceH2814, even from goodH2896; and my sorrowH3511 was stirredH5916. {stirred: Heb. troubled}
My heartH3820 was hotH2552 withinH7130 me, while I was musingH1901 the fireH784 burnedH1197: thenH227 spakeH1696 I with my tongueH3956,
LORDH3068, make me to knowH3045 mine endH7093, and the measureH4060 of my daysH3117, what it is; that I may knowH3045 how frailH2310 I am. {how…: or, what time I have here}
Behold, thou hast madeH5414 my daysH3117 as an handbreadthH2947; and mine ageH2465 is as nothing before thee: verily everyH3605 manH120 at his best stateH5324 is altogetherH3605 vanityH1892. SelahH5542. {at…: Heb. settled}
Surely every manH376 walkethH1980 in a vain shewH6754: surely they are disquietedH1993 in vainH1892: he heapeth upH6651 riches, and knowethH3045 not who shall gatherH622 them. {a vain…: Heb. an image}
And now, LordH136, what waitH6960 I for? my hopeH8431 is in thee.
DeliverH5337 me from all my transgressionsH6588: makeH7760 me not the reproachH2781 of the foolishH5036.
I was dumbH481, I openedH6605 not my mouthH6310; because thou didstH6213 it.
RemoveH5493 thy strokeH5061 awayH5493 from me: I am consumedH3615 by the blowH8409 of thine handH3027. {blow: Heb. conflict}
When thou with rebukesH8433 dost correctH3256 manH376 for iniquityH5771, thou makest his beautyH2530 to consume awayH4529 like a mothH6211: surely every manH120 is vanityH1892. SelahH5542. {his…: Heb. that which is to be desired in him to melt away}
HearH8085 my prayerH8605, O LORDH3068, and give earH238 unto my cryH7775; hold not thy peaceH2790 at my tearsH1832: for I am a strangerH1616 with thee, and a sojournerH8453, as all my fathersH1 were.
O spareH8159 me, that I may recover strengthH1082, before I go henceH3212, and be no more.
