1	TO THE CHOIRMASTER: TO JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF DAVID. I said, “I will guard my ways, that I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle, so long as the wicked are in my presence.”
2	I was mute and silent; I held my peace to no avail, and my distress grew worse.
3	My heart became hot within me. As I mused, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:
4	“O LORD, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am!
5	Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah
6	Surely a man goes about as a shadow! Surely for nothing they are in turmoil; man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!
7	“And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you.
8	Deliver me from all my transgressions. Do not make me the scorn of the fool!
9	I am mute; I do not open my mouth, for it is you who have done it.
10	Remove your stroke from me; I am spent by the hostility of your hand.
11	When you discipline a man with rebukes for sin, you consume like a moth what is dear to him; surely all mankind is a mere breath! Selah
12	“Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry; hold not your peace at my tears! For I am a sojourner with you, a guest, like all my fathers.
13	Look away from me, that I may smile again, before I depart and am no more!“
14

1	I said, “I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth as long as the wicked are in my presence.”
2	But when I was silent and still, not even saying anything good, my anguish increased.
3	My heart grew hot within me, and as I meditated, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:
4	“Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life.
5	You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man's life is but a breath. Selah
6	Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro: He bustles about, but only in vain; he heaps up wealth, not knowing who will get it.
7	“But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.
8	Save me from all my transgressions; do not make me the scorn of fools.
9	I was silent; I would not open my mouth, for you are the one who has done this.
10	Remove your scourge from me; I am overcome by the blow of your hand.
11	You rebuke and discipline men for their sin; you consume their wealth like a moth- each man is but a breath. Selah
12	“Hear my prayer, O LORD, listen to my cry for help; be not deaf to my weeping. For I dwell with you as an alien, a stranger, as all my fathers were.
13	Look away from me, that I may rejoice again before I depart and am no more.“
14

1	I said to myself, “I will watch what I do and not sin in what I say. I will hold my tongue when the ungodly are around me.”
2	But as I stood there in silence– not even speaking of good things– the turmoil within me grew worse.
3	The more I thought about it, the hotter I got, igniting a fire of words:
4	“LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered– how fleeting my life is.
5	You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.“ Interlude
6	We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it.
7	And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.
8	Rescue me from my rebellion. Do not let fools mock me.
9	I am silent before you; I won't say a word, for my punishment is from you.
10	But please stop striking me! I am exhausted by the blows from your hand.
11	When you discipline us for our sins, you consume like a moth what is precious to us. Each of us is but a breath. Interlude
12	Hear my prayer, O LORD! Listen to my cries for help! Don't ignore my tears. For I am your guest– a traveler passing through, as my ancestors were before me.
13	Leave me alone so I can smile again before I am gone and exist no more. For the choir director: A psalm of David.
14

1	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.
2	I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
3	My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,
4	LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.
5	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.
6	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.
7	And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
8	Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9	I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
10	Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
11	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.
12	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.
13	O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
