Measure the Days

Lyrics

Psalm thirty nine, one through four

I said,
I will take heed
to my ways,
that I sin not
with my tongue:
I will keep
my mouth
with a bridle,
while the wicked
is before me.

I was dumb
with silence,
I held my peace,
even from good;
and my sorrow
was stirred.

My heart
was hot within me,
while I was musing
the fire burned:
then spake I
with my tongue,

LORD, make me
to know
mine end,
and the measure
of my days,
what it is;
that I may know
how frail I am.

Psalm chapter thirty nine, verse one through four

I said,
I will take heed
to my ways,
that I sin not
with my tongue:
I will keep
my mouth
with a bridle,
while the wicked
is before me.

I was dumb
with silence,
I held my peace,
even from good;
and my sorrow
was stirred.

My heart
was hot within me,
while I was musing
the fire burned:
then spake I
with my tongue,

LORD, make me
to know
mine end,
and the measure
of my days,
what it is;
that I may know
how frail I am.

I was dumb

LORD, make me
