1 To the chief Musician 5329, even to Jeduthun 3038, A Psalm 4210 of David 1732. I said 559, I will take heed 8104 to my ways 1870, that I sin 2398 not with my tongue 3956: I will keep 8104 my mouth 6310 with a bridle 4269, while the wicked 7563 is before me.
2 I was dumb 481 with silence 1747, I held my peace 2814, even from good 2896; and my sorrow 3511 was stirred 5916.
3 My heart 3820 was hot 2552 within 7130 me, while I was musing 1901 the fire 784 burned 1197: then 227 spake 1696 I with my tongue 3956,
4 LORD 3068, make me to know 3045 mine end 7093, and the measure 4060 of my days 3117, what it is; that I may know 3045 how frail 2310 I am.
5 Behold, thou hast made 5414 my days 3117 as an handbreadth 2947; and mine age 2465 is as nothing before thee: verily every 3605 man 120 at his best state 5324 is altogether 3605 vanity 1892. Selah 5542.
6 Surely every man 376 walketh 1980 in a vain shew 6754: surely they are disquieted 1993 in vain 1892: he heapeth up 6651 riches, and knoweth 3045 not who shall gather 622 them.
7 And now, Lord 136, what wait 6960 I for? my hope 8431 is in thee.
8 Deliver 5337 me from all my transgressions 6588: make 7760 me not the reproach 2781 of the foolish 5036.
9 I was dumb 481, I opened 6605 not my mouth 6310; because thou didst 6213 it.
10 Remove 5493 0 thy stroke 5061 away 5493 from me: I am consumed 3615 by the blow 8409 of thine hand 3027.
11 When thou with rebukes 8433 dost correct 3256 man 376 for iniquity 5771, thou makest his beauty 2530 to consume away 4529 like a moth 6211: surely every man 120 is vanity 1892. Selah 5542.
12 Hear 8085 my prayer 8605, O LORD 3068, and give ear 238 unto my cry 7775; hold not thy peace 2790 at my tears 1832: for I am a stranger 1616 with thee, and a sojourner 8453, as all my fathers 1 were.
13 O spare 8159 me, that I may recover strength 1082, before I go hence 3212, and be no more.
