1I said, "I will watch my ways so that I will not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle as long as the wicked are present."
“I said, I will guard my ways that I may not sin with my tongue. I will guard my mouth as with a muzzle. While the wicked are in my presence,”
“I said I will guard my ways that I may not sin with my tongue. I will guard my mouth as with a muzzle while the wicked are in my presence.”
“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.”
“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 speechless and still; I remained silent, even from speaking good, and my sorrow was stirred.
“I was dumb with silence. I held my peace even from good, and my sorrow was stirred.”
“I was mute and silent. I refrained even from good. And my sorrow grew worse.”
3My heart grew hot within me; as I mused, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:
“My heart is hot within me. While I was musing, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue.”
“My heart became hot within me. While I mused, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue.”
4"Show me, O LORD, my end and the measure of my days. Let me know how fleeting my life is.
“O Lord, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days. Let me know how fleeting I am.”
“Lord, make me to know my end and what is the extent of my days. Let me know how transient, how passing I am.”
“Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is, that I may know how frail I am.”
“Lord, make me know my end. And what is the measure of my days? Let me know how fleeting I am.”
“Lord, make me to know my end and the measure of my days, what it is, that I may know how frail I am.”
“Make me O Lord to know mine end and the measure of my days what it is that I may know how frail I am.”
5You, indeed, have made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime as nothing before You. Truly each man at his best exists as but a breath. Selah
“Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreath, and mine ages as nothing before thee. Verily, every man at his best state is altogether vanity, selah.”
“Behold thou has made my days as in hand breath and Mine age is as nothing before thee. Verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah”
6Surely every man goes about like a phantom; surely he bustles in vain; he heaps up riches not knowing who will haul them away.
“Surely every man walks about as a phantom. Surely they make an uproar for nothing. He amasses riches and does not know who will gather them.”
“surely every man walks about like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up riches and he does not know who will gather them.”
“surely every man walketh in a vain show. Surely they are disquieted in vain he he put up riches and knoweth not who shall gather them.”
7And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.
“And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in Thee.”
“and now Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee.”
“And now, Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you.”
“and now lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.”
“and now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.”
“And now, O Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.”
8Deliver me from all my transgressions; do not make me the reproach of fools.
“Deliver me from all my transgressions. Make me not the reproach of the foolish.”
“Deliver me from all my transgressions. Make me not the reproach of the foolish.”
“Deliver me from all my transgressions. Do not make me the scorn of the fool.”
9I have become mute; I do not open my mouth because of what You have done.
“I was dumb. I opened not my mouth, because thou didst it.”
“I was dumb. I Opened not my mouth because thou Did it?”
“I am silent. I do not open my mouth, for it is you who have done it.”
10Remove Your scourge from me; I am perishing by the force of Your hand.
“remove thy stroke away from me. I Am consumed by the blow of thy hand”
11You discipline and correct a man for his iniquity, consuming like a moth what he holds dear; surely each man is but a vapor. Selah

12Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping. For I am a foreigner dwelling with You, a stranger like all my fathers.
“Hear my prayer, O Lord. Give ear to my cry. Hold not Thy peace at my tears. For I am a stranger with Thee and a sojourner as all my fathers were.”
13Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may again be cheered before I depart and am no more."
