\d For the chief musician, for Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 1 I decided, "I will watch what I say
|
|
\q so that I do not sin with my tongue.
|
|
\q I will muzzle my mouth
|
|
\q while in the presence of an evil man."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 I kept silent; I kept back my words even from saying anything good,
|
|
\q and my pain grew worse.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 My heart became hot;
|
|
\q when I thought about these things, it burned like a fire.
|
|
\q Then finally I spoke.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 "Yahweh, make me know when will be the end of my life
|
|
\q and the extent of my days.
|
|
\q Show me how transient I am.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 See, you have made my days only the width of my hand,
|
|
\q and my lifetime is like nothing before you.
|
|
\q Surely every man is a single breath.
|
|
\qs Selah\qs*
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 Surely every man walks about like a shadow.
|
|
\q Surely everyone hurries about
|
|
\q to accumulate riches although they do not know who will receive them.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 Now, Lord, for what am I waiting?
|
|
\q You are my only hope.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 Rescue me from my sins;
|
|
\q do not make me the reproach of fools.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 I am silent and cannot open my mouth,
|
|
\q because it is you who has done it.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 Stop wounding me;
|
|
\q I am overwhelmed by the blow of your hand.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 When you discipline people for sin,
|
|
\q you consume the things they desire like a moth;
|
|
\q surely all people are nothing but vapor.
|
|
\qs Selah\qs*
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 Hear my prayer, Yahweh, and listen to me;
|
|
\q listen to my weeping!
|
|
\q Do not be deaf to me,
|
|
\q for I am like a foreigner with you, a refugee like all my ancestors were.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 Turn your gaze from me so that I may smile again
|
|
\q before I die."
