TO THE OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF DAVID. I have said, “I observe my ways, || Against sinning with my tongue, || I keep a curb for my mouth, || While the wicked [is] before me.” Psa 141:3I was mute [with] silence, || I kept silent from good, and my pain is excited. Psa 108:13My heart [is] hot within me, || In my meditating the fire burns, || I have spoken with my tongue. Act 17:16“Cause me to know, O YHWH, my end, || And the measure of my days—what it [is],” || I know how frail I [am]. Rom 13:11Behold, You have made my days handbreadths, || And my age [is] as nothing before You, || Only, every man set up [is] all vanity. Selah. Psa 90:5-6; Psa 144:4Only, each habitually walks in an image, || Only, [in] vain, they are disquieted, || He heaps up and does not know who gathers them. Job 8:9; Jer 17:11; Luk 12:20And now, what have I expected? O Lord, my hope—it [is] of You. Deliver me from all my transgressions, || Do not make me a reproach of the fool. I have been mute, I do not open my mouth, || Because You have done [it]. Mat 11:5Turn aside Your stroke from off me, || From the striving of Your hand I have been consumed. With reproofs against iniquity, || You have corrected man, || And dissolve his desirableness as a moth, || Only, every man [is] vanity. Selah. Isa 51:8Hear my prayer, O YHWH, || And give ear [to] my cry, || Do not be silent to my tear, || For I [am] a sojourner with You, || A settler like all my fathers. 1Ch 29:15; 2Co 5:6; Php 3:20; Heb 11:13Look from me, and I brighten up before I go and am not!
