1 I vowed to watch my words,
2I was silent and dumb,
3My heart grew hot within me;
4“Teach me, O LORD, my end,
5See! My days you have made but a span,
6it is but in mere semblance we walk to and fro,
7And now, what wait I for, LORD?
8From all my transgressions deliver me;
9I am dumb, never opening my mouth,
10Remove your stroke from off me:
11When you rebuke someone to punish their sins,
12Hear my prayer, O LORD;
13Look away from me, let me smile again,
