2. I said, “I will watch my ways,lest I sin with my tongue;I will keep a muzzle on my mouth.”
3. Mute and silent before the wicked,I refrain from good things.But my sorrow increases;
4. my heart smolders within me.In my sighing a fire blazes up,and I break into speech:
5. Lord, let me know my end, the number of my days,that I may learn how frail I am.
6. To be sure, you establish the expanse of my days;indeed, my life is as nothing before you.Every man is but a breath.Selah
