The Vanity of Life. For the choir director, for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. 1I said, “I will guard my ways That I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth as with a muzzle While the wicked are in my presence.”
2I was mute and silent,
3My heart was hot within me,
4“LORD, make me to know my end
5“Behold, You have made my days as handbreadths, Selah.
6“Surely every man walks about as a phantom;
7“And now, Lord, for what do I wait?
8“Deliver me from all my transgressions;
9“I have become mute, I do not open my mouth,
10“Remove Your plague from me;
11“With reproofs You chasten a man for iniquity; Selah.
12“Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry;
13“Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may smile again NASB 1995 Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif. All rights reserved. For Permission to Quote Information visit http://www.lockman.org Bible Hub |
