I SAID, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015051">2</a>. I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015052">3</a>. My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015053">4</a>. LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015054">5</a>. Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity.  Selah.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015055">6</a>. Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015056">7</a>. And now, Lord, what wait I for?  my hope is in thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015057">8</a>. Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015058">9</a>. I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015059">10</a>. Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015060">11</a>. When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity.  Selah.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015061">12</a>. Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015062">13</a>. O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.</li>
