1 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 I was dumb and silent, I refrained even from good; And my sorrow grew worse. 3 My heart was hot within me; While I was musing the fire burned; Then I spoke with my tongue: 4 “LORD, make me to know my end, And what is the extent of my days, Let me know how transient I am. 5 “Behold, Thou hast made my days as handbreadths, And my lifetime as nothing in Thy sight, Surely every man at his best is a mere breath.
