For the Chief Musician. For Jeduthun. A Psalm by David.1Ch 16:42
I said, “I will watch my ways, so that I don’t sin with my tongue.
I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me.”Psa 141:3
I was mute with silence.
I held my peace, even from good.
My sorrow was stirred.Psa 108:13
My heart was hot within me.
While I meditated, the fire burnt.
I spoke with my tongue:Act 17:16
“LORD, show me my end,
what is the measure of my days.
Let me know how frail I am.Rom 13:11
Behold, you have made my days hand widths.
My lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely every man stands as a breath.” Selah.Psa 90:5-6; Psa 144:4
“Surely every man walks like a shadow.
Surely they busy themselves in vain.
He heaps up, and doesn’t know who shall gather.Job 8:9; Jer 17:11; Luk 12:20
Now, Lord, what do I wait for?
My hope is in you.
Deliver me from all my transgressions.
Don’t make me the reproach of the foolish.
I was mute.
I didn’t open my mouth,
because you did it.Mat 11:5
Remove your scourge away from me.
I am overcome by the blow of your hand.
When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity,
you consume his wealth like a moth.
Surely every man is but a breath.” Selah.Isa 51:8
“Hear my prayer, LORD, and give ear to my cry.
Don’t be silent at my tears.
For I am a stranger with you,
a foreigner, as all my fathers were.1Ch 29:15; 2Co 5:6; Php 3:20; Heb 11:13
Oh spare me, that I may recover strength,
before I go away and exist no more.”
