7. “So, Lord, what hope do I have?You are my hope.
8. Save me from all my sins.Don’t let wicked fools make fun of me.
9. I am quiet. I do not open my mouth.You are the one who has done this.
10. Quit punishing me.Your beating is about to kill me.
11. You correct and punish people for their sins.Like a moth, you destroy what they love.Everyone’s life is only a breath. Selah
12. “Lord, hear my prayer.Listen to my cry.Do not ignore my tears.I am like a visitor with you.Like my ancestors, I’m only here a short time.
13. Leave me alone so I can be happy.Soon I will leave and be no more.”
