lyrics

I said I would be watchful of my ways
for fear I should sin with my tongue

I will put a curb on my lips
when the wicked stand before me

I was mute silent and still
their prosperity stirred my grief

my heart was burning within me
at the thought of it the fire blazed up

and my tongue burst into speech
oh lord you have shown me my end

how short is the length of my days
now I know how fleeting is my life

you have given me a short span of days
my life is as nothing in your sight

a mere breath the one who stood so firm
a mere shadow the one who passes by

a mere breath the hoarded riches
and who will take them no one knows

now lord what is there to wait for
in you rests all my hope

set me free from all my sins
do not make me the taunt of the fool

I was silent not opening my lips
because this was all your doing

take a way your scourge from me
I am crushed by the blows of your hands

you punish our sins and correct us
like a moth you devour all we treasure

(selah)

human life is no more than a breath
o lord hear my prayer

oh lord turn your ear to my cry
do not be deaf to my tears

in your house I am a passing guest
a pilgrim like all my forebears

look away that I may breathe again
before I depart to be no more

glory be to god, the father, and the son
and the Holy Spirit
