Psalms Chapter 38

Dixi custodiam.

A just man's peace and patience in his sufferings; considering the
vanity of the world, and the providence of God.

38:1. Unto the end, for Idithun himself, a canticle of David.

38:2. I said: I will take heed to my ways: that I sin not with my
tongue. I have set a guard to my mouth, when the sinner stood against

38:7. Surely man passeth as an image: yea, and he is disquieted in vain.

38:8. And now what is my hope? is it not the Lord? and my substance is

38:11. Remove thy scourges from me. The strength of thy hand hath made

to waste away like a spider: surely in vain is any man disquieted.

38:13. Hear my prayer, O Lord, and my supplication: give ear to my

38:14. O forgive me, that I may be refreshed, before I go hence, and be
no more.
