1 To the Overseer, to Jeduthun. — A Psalm of David. I have said, 'I observe my ways, Against sinning with my tongue, I keep for my mouth a curb, while the wicked [is] before me.'
To the choirmaster (for Jeduthun *Q(K)*) a psalm of David. I said I will guard ways my from sinning with tongue my I will keep to mouth my a muzzle while still [the] wicked [is] to before me.
2 I was dumb [with] silence, I kept silent from good, and my pain is excited.
I was dumb silence I was silent from good and pain my it was stirred up.
3 Hot [is] my heart within me, In my meditating doth the fire burn, I have spoken with my tongue.
It became hot heart my - in inner being my in sighing my it burned fire I spoke with tongue my.
4 'Cause me to know, O Jehovah, mine end, And the measure of my days — what it [is],' I know how frail I [am].
Make known to me O Yahweh - end my and [the] measure of days my what? [is] it let me know how! fleeting [am] I.
5 Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age [is] as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity [is] every man set up. (Selah)
Here! handbreadths - you have made days my and lifespan my [is] like nothing before you [is] only all vanity all humankind [which] stands (Selah)
6 Only, in an image doth each walk habitually, Only, [in] vain, they are disquieted, He heapeth up and knoweth not who gathereth them.
Only an image - he goes about a person only vanity people are in turmoil! he heaps up and not he knows who? [will be] gathering them.
7 And, now, what have I expected? O Lord, my hope — it [is] of Thee.
And now what? do I wait for O Lord hope my [is] to you it.
8 From all my transgressions deliver me, A reproach of the fool make me not.
From all transgressions my deliver me a reproach of [the] foolish may not you make me.
9 I have been dumb, I open not my mouth, Because Thou — Thou hast done [it].
I am dumb not I open mouth my for you you have acted.
10 Turn aside from off me Thy stroke, From the striving of Thy hand I have been consumed.
Remove from on me plague your from [the] hostility of hand your I I have come to an end.
11 With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man, And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity [is] every man. (Selah)
With rebukes on iniquity - you have disciplined a person and you have melted like moth desired [thing] his [is] only vanity all humankind (Selah)
12 Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And [to] my cry give ear, Unto my tear be not silent, For a sojourner I [am] with Thee, A settler like all my fathers.
Hear! prayer my - O Yahweh and cry for help my - give ear to! to tear[s] my may not you be silent for [am] a sojourner I with you a resident alien like all ancestors my.
13 Look from me, and I brighten up before I go and am not!
Smear from me so let me be cheerful before I will go and there not [will be] me.
