11I saidH559, “I will 2guardH8104 my waysH1870 That I 3may not sinH2398 with my tongueH3956; I will guardH8104 4my mouthH6310 as with a muzzleH4269 WhileH5750 the wickedH7563 are in my presenceH5048.”2I was 5muteH481 6and silentH1747, I 7refrainedH2814 even from goodH2896, And my 8sorrowH3511 grewH5916 worseH5916.3My 9heartH3820 was hotH2552 withinH7130 me, While I was musingH1901 the fireH784 burnedH1197; Then I spokeH1696 with my tongueH3956:4“LordH3068, make me to knowH3045 10my endH7093 And whatH4100 is the extentH4060 of my daysH3117; Let me knowH3045 howH4100 11transientH2310 I am.5BeholdH2009, You have madeH5414 12my daysH3117 as handbreadthsH2947, And my 13lifetimeH2465 as nothingH369 in Your sightH5048; SurelyH389 everyH3605 manH120 14at his bestH5324 is 15a mereH3605 16breathH1892. 17SelahH5542.6SurelyH389 everyH376 manH376 18walksH1980 about as 19a phantomH6754; SurelyH389 they makeH1993 an 20uproarH1993 for nothingH1892; He 21amassesH6651 riches and does not knowH3045 whoH4310 will gatherH622 them.
