(A)I am mute; I do not open my mouth,
    (B)for it is you who have done it.
10 (C)Remove your stroke from me;
    I am spent by the hostility of your hand.
11 When you discipline a man
    with (D)rebukes for sin,
you (E)consume like a (F)moth what is dear to him;
    (G)surely all mankind is a mere breath! Selah

12 (H)“Hear my prayer, O Lord,
    and give ear to my cry;
    hold not your peace at my tears!
For I am (I)a sojourner with you,
    (J)a guest, like all my fathers.
13 (K)Look away from me, that I may smile again,
    (L)before I depart and (M)am no more!”
