8Rescue me from my sins; do not make me the reproach of fools.
9I am silent and cannot open my mouth, because it is you who has done it.
10Stop wounding me; I am overwhelmed by the blow of your hand.
11When you discipline people for sin, you consume the things they desire like a moth; surely all people are nothing but vapor. Selah
12Hear my prayer, Yahweh, and listen to me; listen to my weeping! Do not be deaf to me, for I am like a foreigner with you, a refugee like all my ancestors were.
13Turn your gaze from me so that I may smile again before I die.”
