9 ^aI was mute, I did not open my mouth,
Because it was ^bYou who did it. ‡

10 ^aRemove Your plague from me;
I am consumed by the blow of Your hand. ‡

12 “Hear my prayer, O Lord,
And give ear to my cry;
Do not be silent at my tears;
For I am a stranger with You,
A sojourner, ^aas all my fathers were. ‡

13 ^aRemove Your gaze from me, that I may regain strength,
Before I go away and ^bam no more.” ‡
