10 I am speechless, not opening my mouth —for You have done it.
11 Remove Your scourge from me. I perish by the blow of Your hand.
12 With rebukes You chasten one for iniquity and You consume like a moth what he finds pleasure in. Surely all humanity is but a vapor. Selah
13 Hear my prayer, Adonai, and listen to my cry— do not keep silent at my tears. For with You I am an outsider, a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
14 Turn your gaze away from me, so I may smile again, before I go, and am no more.”
