לַמְנַצֵּחַ לידיתון מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד
For the Leader, for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
אָמַרְתִּי אֶֽשְׁמְרָה דְרָכַי מֵחֲטוֹא בִלְשׁוֹנִי אֶשְׁמְרָה לְפִי מַחְסוֹם בְּעֹד רָשָׁע לְנֶגְדִּֽי
I said: 'I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue; I will keep a curb upon my mouth, while the wicked is before me.'
נֶאֱלַמְתִּי דוּמִיָּה הֶחֱשֵׁיתִי מִטּוֹב וּכְאֵבִי נֶעְכָּֽר
I was dumb with silence; I held my peace, had no comfort; and my pain was held in check.
חַם־לִבִּי בְּקִרְבִּי בַּהֲגִיגִי תִבְעַר־אֵשׁ דִּבַּרְתִּי בִּלְשֽׁוֹנִי
My heart waxed hot within me; while I was musing, the fire kindled; Then spoke I with my tongue:
הוֹדִיעֵנִי יְהוָה קִצִּי וּמִדַּת יָמַי מַה־הִיא אֵדְעָה מֶה־חָדֵל אָֽנִי
'LORD, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how short-lived I am.
