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.” ‡

2 ^aI was mute with silence,
I held my peace even from good;
And my sorrow was stirred up. ‡

4 “Lord, ^amake me to know my end,
And what is the measure of my days,
That I may know how frail I am. ‡

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 ‡
