I Said, I will look to my ways, lest I sin with my tongue: I'll keep my mouth with bit, while I the wicked am among. verse 2 With silence tied was my tongue, my mouth I did refrain, From speaking that thing which is good, and stirred was my pain. verse 3 Mine heart within me waxed hot, while I was musing long, ⟨image ?⟩enkindled in me was the fire; then spake I with my tongue. verse 4 Mine end, o Lord, & of my days let me the measure learn; that what a momentany thing I am I may discern. verse 5 Behold thou madest my days a span, mine age as nought to thee: surely each man at's best estate, is wholly vanity. Selah. verse 6 Sure in a vain show walketh man; sure stirred in vain they are: he heaps up riches, & knows not who shall the same gather.
