What Is the Measure of My Days?

39[To the choirmaster: to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.] I said, "I will guard my ways, that I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle, so long as the wicked are in my presence."H5329H3038H4210H1732H559H8104H1870H2398H3956H8104H6310H4269H7563 2I was mute and silent; I held my peace to no avail, and my distress grew worse.H481H1747H2814H2896H3511H5916 3My heart became hot within me. As I mused, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:H3820H2552H7130H1901H784H1197H227H1696H3956 4"O LORD, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am!H3068H3045H7093H4060H3117H3045H2310 5Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! SelahH5414H3117H2947H2465H3605H120H5324H3605H1892H5542 6Surely a man goes about as a shadow! Surely for nothing they are in turmoil; man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!H376H1980H6754H1993H1892H6651H3045H622 7"And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you.H136H6960H8431 8Deliver me from all my transgressions. Do not make me the scorn of the fool!H5337H6588H7760H2781H5036 9I am mute; I do not open my mouth, for it is you who have done it.H481H6605H6310H6213 10Remove your stroke from me; I am spent by the hostility of your hand.H5493H5061H5493H3615H8409H3027 11When you discipline a man with rebukes for sin, you consume like a moth what is dear to him; surely all mankind is a mere breath! SelahH8433H3256H376H5771H2530H4529H6211H120H1892H5542 12"Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry; hold not your peace at my tears! For I am a sojourner with you, a guest, like all my fathers.H8085H8605H3068H238H7775H2790H1832H1616H8453H1 13Look away from me, that I may smile again, before I depart and am no more!"H8159H1082H3212
