I said, I will guard my ways§1

1 I said, I will guard my ways, that I may not sin with my tongue. When the sinner rose against me I set a muzzle and was silent, humbled.

Latin · §1

Dixi custodiam vias meas ut non delinquam in lingua mea. Posui ori meo custodiam cum consisteret peccator adversum me. Obmutui et humiliatus sum.

My heart grew hot; show me my end§2

2 My heart became hot within me; as I mused, the fire burned. Make me know my end, O Lord. Glory to Christ. Amen.

Latin · §2

Concaluit cor meum intra me; in meditatione mea exardescet ignis. Notum fac mihi Domine finem meum. Gloria Christo. Amen.
