6. (7) Surely every ish walketh in a tzel (shadow); surely they are in turmoil in vain; he heapeth up riches, and hath no da'as of who shall gather them.
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.
