11 “With (A)reproofs You chasten a man for iniquity;
You (B)consume as a moth what is precious to him;
Surely (C)every man is a mere breath. Selah.

12 (D)Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear to my cry;
Do not be silent (E)at my tears;
For I am (F)a stranger with You,
A (G)sojourner like all my fathers.
13 (H)Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may [a]smile again
Before I depart and am no more.”
