For the leader, for Jeduthun. A psalm of David. 3 Dumb and silent before the wicked, I refrained from any speech. 5 LORD, let me know my end, the number of my days, that I may learn how frail I am.
All mortals are but a breath.
You are my only hope. I was silent and did not open my mouth because you were the one who did this. All mortals are but a breath. I sojourn with you like a passing stranger, a guest, like all my ancestors. 14 Turn your gaze from me, that I may find peace before I depart to be no more.
