6 (7) Surely every ish walketh in a tzel (shadow); surely they are in turmoil in vain; he heapeth up riches, and hath no da'as of who shall gather them.
7 (8) And now, Adonoi, what do I wait for? My hope is in Thee.
8 (9) Save me from all my peysha'im; make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9 (10) I was silent, I opened not my mouth; because Atah (Thou) did it.
10 (11) Remove Thy nega (stroke, scourge) away from me; I am consumed by the blow of Thine yad.
11 (12) When Thou with rebukes dost correct man for avon (iniquity), Thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely kol adam are hevel (vanity). Selah.
12 (13) Hear my tefillah, Hashem, and give ear unto my cry; hold not Thy peace at my weeping; for I am a ger with Thee, and a sojourner, as were all my Avot.
