9. I am mute. I do not open my mouth, for you, yourself, have done it.
10. Remove from me your affliction. By the opposition of your hand I perish.
11. When with rebukes you chastise a man for sin, you consume like a moth his delightful things. Surely everyone is a mere vapor. Selah
12. Hear my prayer, O Yahweh, and listen to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my tears. For I am an alien with you, a sojourner like all my ancestors.
13. Look away from me that I may be cheerful, before I depart and I am no more.
