1I 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.”

2I was mute Lit with silenceand silent,

I Lit was silent from goodrefused to say even something good,

And my pain was stirred up.

3My 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.

5Behold, You have made my days like I.e., shorthand widths,

And my lifetime as nothing in Your sight;

Certainly all mankind standing is Or altogether breatha mere breath. Selah

6Certainly every person walks around as Lit an imagea fleeting shadow;

They certainly make an uproar for nothing;

He amasses riches and does not know who will gather them.

7“And now, Lord, for what do I wait?

My hope is in You.

8Save me from all my wrongdoings;

Do not make me an object of reproach for the foolish.

9I have become mute, I do not open my mouth,

Because it is You who have done it.

10Remove Your plague from me;

Because of the opposition of Your hand I am Or wasting awayperishing.

11With rebukes You punish a person for wrongdoing;

You consume like a moth what is precious to him;

Certainly all mankind is mere breath! Selah

12“Hear my prayer, Lord, and listen to my cry for help;

Do not be silent to my tears;

For I am a stranger with You,

One who lives abroad, like all my fathers.

13Turn Your eyes away from me, that I may become cheerful again

Before I depart and am no more.”
