The Vanity of Life. For the choir director, for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. 1I said, I will guard my ways That I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth as with a muzzle While the wicked are in my presence.
2I was mute and silent,
3My heart was hot within me,
4LORD, make me to know my end
5Behold, You have made my days as handbreadths, Selah.
6Surely every man walks about as a phantom;
7And now, Lord, for what do I wait?
8Deliver me from all my transgressions;
9I have become mute, I do not open my mouth,
10Remove Your plague from me;
11With reproofs You chasten a man for iniquity; Selah.
12Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry;
13Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may smile again New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif. All rights reserved. For Permission to Quote Information visit http://www.lockman.org Bible Apps |
