  • 0. [To the chiefe musition Ieduthun, <BR />a psalme of Dauid.]
  • 1. I sayde [to my selfe] I wyll take heede to my wayes, that I offende not in my tongue: I wyll kepe my mouth as it were with a brydell, whylest the vngodly is in my syght.
  • 2. I became dumbe through scilence, I helde my peace from speakyng of good wordes: but the more was my sorowe increased.
  • 3. My heart was hotte within me, and whyle I was thus musyng the fire kyndled: and [at the last] I spake with my tongue.
  • 4. O God make me to knowe mine ende, and the number of my dayes: that I may be certified howe long I haue to lyue.
  • 5. Behold thou hast made my dayes as it were an hand breadth long, & mine age is euen as nothing before thee: truely euery man is al [together] vanitie. Selah.

  • 7. And nowe Lord what wayte I after? truely my hope is euen in thee.
  • 8. Delyuer me from all my offences: and make me not a rebuke vnto the foolishe.
  • 9. I became dumbe, and opened not my mouth: for it was thy doyng.
  • 10. Take thy plague away from me: I am euen consumed by the meanes of thy heauy hande.
  • 11. Thou doest chasten man, rebukyng him for sinne: thou as a moth doest consume his excellencie, for in very deede euery man is but vanitie. Selah.
  • 12. Heare my prayer O God, and geue eares to my crying, holde not thy peace at my teares: for I am a strauger with thee, and a soiourner as all my fathers were.
  • 13. Oh spare me a litle, that I may recouer my strength: before I go hence, and be no more [seene.]
