My psalms

One verse at a time · it stops at all 2 Selahs

1I 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.2I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good;and my sorrow was stirred.3My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned:then spake I with my tongue,4LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is:that I may know how frail I am.5Behold, 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

6Surely every man walketh in a vain shew:surely they are disquieted in vain:he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.7And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.8Deliver me from all my transgressions:make me not the reproach of the foolish.9I was dumb, I opened not my mouth;because thou didst it.10Remove thy stroke away from me:I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.11When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth:surely every man is vanity.

Selah

12Hear 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.13O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
