Context Reading
1I said, “I will watch my ways, so that I don’t sin with my tongue.I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me.” 2I was mute with silence.I held my peace, even from good.My sorrow was stirred. 3My heart was hot within me.While I meditated, the fire burned.I spoke with my tongue: 4“Yahweh, show me my end,what is the measure of my days.Let me know how frail I am.
