8And now what is my expectation? is it not the Lord? And my ground of hope is with thee. Pause.
9Deliver me from all my transgressions: Thou hast made me a reproach to the foolish.
10I was dumb, and opened not my mouth; for thou art he that made me.
11Remove thy scourges from me: I have fainted by reason of the strength of thy hand.
12Thou chastenest man with rebukes for iniquity, And thou makest his life to consume away like a spider’s web: Nay, every man is disquieted in vain. Pause.
13O Lord, hearken to my prayer and my supplication: Attend to my tears: be not silent, For I am a sojourner in the land, And a stranger, as all my fathers were.
