1I said, I will take heed to my ways,
2I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good;
3My heart was hot within me,
4Lord, make me to know mine end,
5Behold, thou hast made my days as a handbreadth;
6Surely every man walketh in a vain shew:
7And now, Lord, what wait I for?
8Deliver me from all my transgressions:
9I was dumb, I opened not my mouth;
10Remove thy stroke away from me:
11When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity,
12Hear my prayer, O Lord,
13O spare me, that I may recover strength,
