1I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sinnotלְדָוִֽד׃le.da.VidH1732with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

2I was dumb with silence, I held my peace,evenH5704from good; and my sorrow was stirred.

3My heart was hot within me; while I was musing the fire kindled: then spake I with my tongue:

4LORD, makemeH1696to know mine end, and the measure of my days,whatH1696it is; letmeH1696know how frail I am.
