7. (8) And now, Adonoi, what do I wait for? My hope is in Thee.
8. (9) Save me from all my peysha'im; make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9. (10) I was silent, I opened not my mouth; because Atah (Thou) did it.
10. (11) Remove Thy nega (stroke, scourge) away from me; I am consumed by the blow of Thine yad.
11. (12) When Thou with rebukes dost correct man for avon (iniquity), Thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely kol adam are hevel (vanity). Selah.
12. (13) Hear my tefillah, Hashem, and give ear unto my cry; hold not Thy peace at my weeping; for I am a ger with Thee, and a sojourner, as were all my Avot.
13. (14) O spare me from Thy frown, that I may recover strength, before I depart, v'eineni (and I be no more).[T.N. Animal sacrifices cannot take away sin; they are only a shadow of the korban nefesh of Moshiach. See Ps 40 and MJ chp 10; Isa 53:10.]
