1 For the music director, for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, “I will keep watch over my ways So that I do not sin with my tongue; I will keep watch over my mouth as with a muzzle While the wicked are in my presence.” 2 I was mute and silent, I refused to say even something good, And my pain was stirred up. 3 My heart was hot within me, While I was musing the fire burned; Then I spoke with my tongue: 4 “LORD, let me know my end, And what is the extent of my days; Let me know how transient I am. 5 “Behold, You have made my days like hand widths, And my lifetime as nothing in Your sight; Certainly all mankind standing is a mere breath.
