1. For the leader, for Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

1. [For the choirmaster For Jeduthun Psalm Of David] I said, 'I will watch how I behave so that I do not sin by my tongue. I will keep a muzzle on my mouth as long as any sinner is near.'

2. I said, "I will watch my ways, lest I sin with my tongue; I will set a curb on my mouth."

2. I stayed dumb, silent, speechless, but the sinner's prosperity redoubled my torment.

3. Dumb and silent before the wicked, I refrained from any speech. But my sorrow increased;

3. My heart had been smouldering within me, but at the thought of this it flared up and the words came bursting out,

4. my heart smoldered within me. In my thoughts a fire blazed up, and I broke into speech:

4. 'Yahweh, let me know my fate, how much longer I have to live. Show me just how frail I am.

5. LORD, let me know my end, the number of my days, that I may learn how frail I am.

5. 'Look, you have given me but a hand's breadth or two of life, the length of my life is as nothing to you. Every human being that stands on earth is a mere puff of wind,

6. You have given my days a very short span; my life is as nothing before you. All mortals are but a breath. Selah

6. every human being that walks only a shadow; a mere puff of wind is the wealth stored away -- no knowing who will profit from it.'

7. Mere phantoms, we go our way; mere vapor, our restless pursuits; we heap up stores without knowing for whom.

7. So now, Lord, what am I to hope for? My hope is in you.

8. And now, Lord, what future do I have? You are my only hope.

8. Save me from all my sins, do not make me the butt of fools.

9. From all my sins deliver me; let me not be the taunt of fools.

9. I keep silence, I speak no more since you yourself have been at work.

10. I was silent and did not open my mouth because you were the one who did this.

10. Take your scourge away from me. I am worn out by the blows you deal me.

11. Take your plague away from me; I am ravaged by the touch of your hand.

11. You correct human beings by punishing sin, like a moth you eat away all their desires -- a human being is a mere puff of wind.

12. You rebuke our guilt and chasten us; you dissolve all we prize like a cobweb. All mortals are but a breath. Selah

12. Yahweh, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for help, do not remain deaf to my weeping. For I am a stranger in your house, a nomad like all my ancestors.

13. Listen to my prayer, LORD, hear my cry; do not be deaf to my weeping! I sojourn with you like a passing stranger, a guest, like all my ancestors.

13. Turn away your gaze that I may breathe freely before I depart and am no more!

14. Turn your gaze from me, that I may find peace before I depart to be no more.

14.
