1I 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.”
2I was speechless and quiet;
I kept silent, even from speaking good,
and my pain intensified.
3My heart grew hot within me;
as I mused, a fire burned.
I spoke with my tongue:
4“Lord, reveal to me the end of my life
and the number of my days.
Let me know how short-lived I am.
5You, 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.Selah
6“Certainly, man walks about like a mere shadow.
Indeed, they frantically rush around in vain,
gathering possessions
without knowing who will get them.
7Now, Lord, what do I wait for?
My hope is in You.
8Deliver me from all my transgressions;
do not make me the taunt of fools.
9I am speechless; I do not open my mouth
because of what You have done.
10Remove Your torment from me;
I fade away because of the force of Your hand.
11You discipline a man with punishment for sin,
consuming like a moth what is precious to him;
every man is only a vapor.Selah
12“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 temporary resident like all my fathers.
13Turn Your angry gaze from me
so that I may be cheered up
before I die and am gone.”
