- 1
I said, “I will watch my ways, so that I don’t sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me.”
- 2
I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.
- 3
My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned. I spoke with my tongue:
- 4
“LORD, show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.
- 5
Behold, you have made my days hand widths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath.” Selah.
- 6
“Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn’t know who shall gather.
- 7
Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.
- 8
Deliver me from all my transgressions. Don’t make me the reproach of the foolish.
- 9
I was mute. I didn’t open my mouth, because you did it.
- 10
Remove your scourge away from me. I am overcome by the blow of your hand.
- 11
When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity, you consume his wealth like a moth. Surely every man is but a breath.” Selah.
- 12
“Hear my prayer, LORD, and give ear to my cry. Don’t be silent at my tears. For I am a stranger with you, a foreigner, as all my fathers were.
- 13
Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go away and exist no more.”

Al Músico principal, á Jeduthún: Salmo de David. YO DIJE: Atenderé á mis caminos, para no pecar con mi lengua: guardaré mi boca con freno, en tanto que el impío fuere contra mí.
- 2
Enmudecí con silencio, calléme aun respecto de lo bueno: y excitóse mi dolor.
- 3
Enardecióse mi corazón dentro de mí; encendióse fuego en mi meditación, y así proferí con mi lengua:
- 4
Hazme saber, Jehová, mi fin, y cuánta sea la medida de mis días; sepa yo cuánto tengo de ser del mundo.
- 5
He aquí diste á mis días término corto, y mi edad es como nada delante de ti: ciertamente es completa vanidad todo hombre que vive. (Selah.)
- 6
Ciertamente en tinieblas anda el hombre; ciertamente en vano se inquieta: junta, y no sabe quién lo allegará.
- 7
Y ahora, Señor, ¿qué esperaré? Mi esperanza en ti está.
- 8
Líbrame de todas mis rebeliones; no me pongas por escarnio del insensato.
- 9
Enmudecí, no abrí mi boca; porque tú lo hiciste.
- 10
Quita de sobre mí tu plaga; de la guerra de tu mano soy consumido.
- 11
Con castigos sobre el pecado corriges al hombre, y haces consumirse como de polilla su grandeza: ciertamente vanidad es todo hombre. (Selah.)
- 12
Oye mi oración, oh Jehová, y escucha mi clamor: no calles á mis lágrimas; porque peregrino soy para contigo, y advenedizo, como todos mis padres.
- 13
Déjame, y tomaré fuerzas, antes que vaya y perezca.
