2 I said, 'I will keep to my ways, so that I will not offend with my tongue.'I posted a guard at my mouth, when a sinner took up a position against me.
3 I was silenced and humbled, and I was quiet before good things, and my sorrow was renewed.
4 My heart grew hot within me, and, during my meditation, a fire would flare up.
5 I spoke with my tongue, 'O Lord, make me know my end,and what the number of my days will be,so that I may know what is lacking to me.'
6 Behold, you have made my days measurable, and,before you, my substance is as nothing.Yet truly, all things are vanity: every living man.
