9 I am silent and cannot open my mouth because of what you have done. 10 Please stop wounding me! You have almost beaten me to death! 11 You severely discipline people for their sins; like a moth you slowly devour their strength. Surely all people are a mere vapor. (Selah) 12 Hear my prayer, O LORD! Listen to my cry for help! Do not ignore my sobbing! For I am dependent on you, like one residing outside his native land; I am at your mercy, just as all my ancestors were. 13 Turn your angry gaze away from me, so I can be happy before I pass away.
