1 To the overseer, to Jeduthun: chanting of David. I said, I will watch my way from sinning with my tongue: I will watch for my mouth with a muzzle while yet the unjust one is before me. 2 I was dumb with silence, I was silent from good, and my pain was moved. 3 My heart was hot in the midst of me; in my heat the fire will burn: I spake with my tongue. 4 O Jehovah, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; I shall know how I fail. 5 Behold, thou gavest my days a hand-breadth, and my life as nothing before thee: but every man stood all vanity. Silence. Psalms 39:1-5, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
