:Lord, let me know mine end and the number of my days,
Lord, let me know mine end and the number of my days,
:That I may be certified how long I have to live.
That I may be certified how long I have to live.
:Thou hast made my days as it were a span long;
Thou hast made my days as it were a span long;
:And mine age is as nothing in respect of Thee,
And mine age is as nothing in respect of Thee,
:And verily, ev'ry man living is altogether vanity,
And verily, ev'ry man living is altogether vanity,
:For man walketh in a vain shadow
For man walketh in a vain shadow
:And disquieteth himself in vain,
And disquieteth himself in vain,
:He heapeth up riches and cannot tell who shall gather them.
He heapeth up riches and cannot tell who shall gather them.
:And now, Lord, what is my hope?
And now, Lord, what is my hope?
:Truly my hope is even in Thee.
Truly my hope is even in Thee.
:Deliver me from all mine offences
Deliver me from all mine offences
:And make me not a rebuke to the foolish.
And make me not a rebuke to the foolish.
:I became dumb and opened not my mouth
I became dumb and opened not my mouth
:For it was Thy doing.
For it was Thy doing.
:Take Thy plague away from me,
Take Thy plague away from me,
:I am even consumed by means of Thy heavy hand.
I am even consumed by means of Thy heavy hand.
:When Thou with rebukes does chasten man for sin
When Thou with rebukes does chasten man for sin
:Thou makest his beauty to consume away
Thou makest his beauty to consume away
:Like as it were a moth fretting a garment;
Like as it were a moth fretting a garment;
:Ev'ry man therefore is but vanity.
Ev'ry man therefore is but vanity.
:Hear my pray'r, O Lord
Hear my pray'r, O Lord
:And with Thy ears consider my calling,
And with Thy ears consider my calling,
:Hold not Thy peace at my tears!
Hold not Thy peace at my tears!
:For I am a stranger with Thee and a sojourner
For I am a stranger with Thee and a sojourner
:As all my fathers were.
As all my fathers were.
:O spare me a little, that I may recover my strength before I go hence
O spare me a little, that I may recover my strength before I go hence
:And be no more seen.
And be no more seen.

English.png English text

Lord, let me know mine end and the number of my days,
That I may be certified how long I have to live.
Thou hast made my days as it were a span long;
And mine age is as nothing in respect of Thee,
And verily, ev'ry man living is altogether vanity,
For man walketh in a vain shadow
And disquieteth himself in vain,
He heapeth up riches and cannot tell who shall gather them.
And now, Lord, what is my hope?
Truly my hope is even in Thee.
Deliver me from all mine offences
And make me not a rebuke to the foolish.
I became dumb and opened not my mouth
For it was Thy doing.
Take Thy plague away from me,
I am even consumed by means of Thy heavy hand.
When Thou with rebukes does chasten man for sin
Thou makest his beauty to consume away
Like as it were a moth fretting a garment;
Ev'ry man therefore is but vanity.
Hear my pray'r, O Lord
And with Thy ears consider my calling,
Hold not Thy peace at my tears!
For I am a stranger with Thee and a sojourner
As all my fathers were.
O spare me a little, that I may recover my strength before I go hence
And be no more seen.
