Prayer for Wisdom and Forgiveness
To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1 I said, “I will guard my ways,
Lest I sin with my atongue;
I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle,
While the wicked are before me.”
Lest I sin with my atongue;
I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle,
While the wicked are before me.”
5 Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths,
And my age is as nothing before You;
Certainly every man at his best state is but avapor. Selah
And my age is as nothing before You;
Certainly every man at his best state is but avapor. Selah
6 Surely every man walks about like a shadow;
Surely they1 busy themselves in vain;
He heaps up riches,
And does not know who will gather them.
Surely they1 busy themselves in vain;
He heaps up riches,
And does not know who will gather them.
11 When with rebukes You correct man for iniquity,
You make his beauty amelt away like a moth;
Surely every man is vapor. Selah
You make his beauty amelt away like a moth;
Surely every man is vapor. Selah
