What Is the Measure of My Days?

To the choirmaster: to ^vJeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1  I said, “I will ^wguard my ways,

that I ^xmay not sin with my tongue;

I will ^yguard my mouth with a muzzle,

so long as the wicked are in my presence.”

---

3  ^xSet a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;

^ykeep watch over the door of my lips!

^uhe who opens wide his lips ^vcomes to ruin.

---

23  ^cWhoever keeps his mouth and his tongue

^dkeeps himself out of ^etrouble.

---

26 If anyone thinks he is religious ^qand does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s ^rreligion is worthless.

---

2 For ^dwe all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, ^ehe is a perfect man, ^fable also to bridle his whole body.
