To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1I said, I will take heedtomyways,thatI sinnotwithmytongue: I will keepmymouthwithamuzzle, whilethewickedisbefore me.

2Iwasdumbwithsilence,Iheldmypeacefromgood;andmysorrowwasstirred.

3My heart burned within me;thefirewaskindled in my musing: I spoke with my tongue,

4Makemetoknow, Jehovah, mine end,andthemeasureofmydays,whatitis:Ishallknow how frailIam.

5Behold, thou hastmadeH3045mydaysH3117[as] hand-breadths,andmylifetimeisasnothingbeforethee; verily,everyman, [even]thehigh placed,isaltogether vanity. Selah.

6Verily,manH120walkethinavainshow; verilytheyaredisquietedinvain;heheapethup[riches],andknowethnotwhoshallgatherthem.
