39
To the chief Musician,
even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
1 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.
4 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it
is; that I may know how frail I
am.
5 Behold, thou hast made my days
as an handbreadth; and mine age
is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state
is altogether vanity. Selah.
6 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up
riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth:
surely every man
is vanity. Selah.
