7 “And now, Lord, what do I hope in?
My aexpectation is in You.
8 aDeliver me from all my transgressions;
Make me not the breproach of the wicked fool.
9 I have become amute, I do not open my mouth,
Because it is bYou who have done it.
10 aRemove Your plague from me;
Because of bthe opposition of Your hand I am wasting away.
11 With areproofs You chasten a man for iniquity;
You bconsume as a moth what is precious to him;
Surely cevery man is vanity. Selah.
12 “aHear my prayer, O Yahweh, and give ear to my cry for help;
Do not be silent bat my tears;
For I am ca sojourner with You,
A dforeign resident like all my fathers.
13 aTurn Your gaze away from me, that I may smile again
Before I go and am no more.”
