1. I promised I would watch my stepsso as not to sin with my tongue;promised to keep my mouth shutas long as the wicked were in my presence.
2. So I was completely quiet, silent.I kept my peace, but it did no good.My pain got worse.
3. My heart got hot inside me;while stewing over it, the fire burned.Then I spoke out with my tongue:
4. "Let me know my end, Lord.How many days do I have left?I want to know how brief my time is."
5. You’ve made my days so short;my lifetime is like nothing in your eyes.Yes, a human life is nothing but a puff of air! Selah
