| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For the choir director, for 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 as with a muzzle While the wicked are in my presence." |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2I was mute and silent, I refrained even from good, And my sorrow grew worse. |

| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4"LORD, make me to know my end And what is the extent of my days; Let me know how transient I am. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5"Behold, You have made my days as handbreadths, And my lifetime as nothing in Your sight; Surely every man at his best is a mere breath. Selah. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6"Surely every man walks about as a phantom; Surely they make an uproar for nothing; He amasses riches and does not know who will gather them. |

| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11"With reproofs You chasten a man for iniquity; You consume as a moth what is precious to him; Surely every man is a mere breath. Selah. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12"Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry; Do not be silent at my tears; For I am a stranger with You, A sojourner like all my fathers. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13"Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may smile again Before I depart and am no more." |
