Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.

Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.*

When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.*

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
