6. “Surely every man walks like a shadow.Surely they busy themselves in vain.He heaps up, and doesn’t know who shall gather.
7. Now, Lord, what do I wait for?My hope is in you.
8. Deliver me from all my transgressions.Don’t make me the reproach of the foolish.
9. I was mute.I didn’t open my mouth,because you did it.
10. Remove your scourge away from me.I am overcome by the blow of your hand.
11. When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity,you consume his wealth like a moth.Surely every man is but a breath.” Selah.
12. “Hear my prayer, Lord, and give ear to my cry.Don’t be silent at my tears.For I am a stranger with you,a foreigner, as all my fathers were.
13. Oh spare me, that I may recover strength,before I go away, and exist no more.”
