19:039:001 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.
19:039:002 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
19:039:003 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,
19:039:004 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.
19:039:005 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.
19:039:006 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.
19:039:007 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
19:039:008 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
19:039:009 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
19:039:010 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
