10Remove your scourge away from me.I am overcome by the blow of your hand. 11When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity,you consume his wealth like a moth.Surely every man is but a breath.” Selah. 12“Hear my prayer, Yahweh, and give ear to my cry.Don’t be silent at my tears.For I am a stranger with you,a foreigner, as all my fathers were. 13Oh spare me, that I may recover strength,before I go away and exist no more.”
