39[For the choir director, for Jeduthun. A Davidic psalm.] I said, "I will guard my ways so that I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle as long as the wicked are in my presence."H5329H3038H4210H1732H559H8104H1870H2398H3956H8104H6310H4269H75632I was speechless and quiet; I kept silent, even from [speaking] good, and my pain intensified.H481H1747H2814H2896H3511H59163My heart grew hot within me; as I mused, a fire burned. I spoke with my tongue:H3820H2552H7130H1901H784H1197H227H1696H39564"LORD, reveal to me the end of my life and the number of my days. Let me know how transitory I am.H3068H3045H7093H4060H3117H3045H23105You, indeed, have made my days short in length, and my life span as nothing in Your sight. Yes, every mortal man is only a vapor. SelahH5414H3117H2947H2465H3605H120H5324H3605H1892H55426Certainly, man walks about like a mere shadow. Indeed, they frantically rush around in vain, gathering possessions without knowing who will get them.H376H1980H6754H1993H1892H6651H3045H6227"Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You.H136H6960H84318Deliver me from all my transgressions; do not make me the taunt of fools.H5337H6588H7760H2781H50369I am speechless; I do not open my mouth because of what You have done.H481H6605H6310H621310Remove Your torment from me; I fade away because of the force of Your hand.H5493H5061H5493H3615H8409H302711You discipline a man with punishment for sin, consuming like a moth what is precious to him; every man is a mere vapor. SelahH8433H3256H376H5771H2530H4529H6211H120H1892H554212"Hear my prayer, LORD, and listen to my cry for help; do not be silent at my tears. For I am a foreigner residing with You, a sojourner like all my fathers.H8085H8605H3068H238H7775H2790H1832H1616H8453H113Turn Your angry gaze from me so that I may be cheered up before I die and am gone."H8159H1082H3212
