I said, “I will guard my ways, that I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle, so long as the wicked are in my presence.” I was mute and silent; I held my peace to no avail, and my distress grew worse. My heart became hot within me. As I mused, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue: “O LORD, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am!”
What a lesson to me here, Lord. So often I have let my distress build until I spoke out against the situation or person I perceived as the source of my aggravation. But David seeks you instead; he comes to you to gain an understanding of his rightful place in the Kingdom. He pleads to see his insignificance. Help me to do the same.
