7. "And now, Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.
8. "Deliver me from all my transgressions; Make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9. "I have become mute, I do not open my mouth, Because it is You who have done it.
10. "Remove Your plague from me; Because of the opposition of Your hand I am perishing.
11. "With reproofs You chasten a man for iniquity; You consume as a moth what is precious to him; Surely every man is a mere breath. Selah.
