2 I remained totally speechless.
3 My heart burned like a fire flaring up within me.
4 “Teach me, O Lord, about the end of my life.
5 Indeed, you have made the length of my days ⌞only⌟ a few inches.
6 Each person who walks around is like a shadow.
7 And now, Lord, what am I waiting for?
8 Rescue me from all my rebellious acts.
9 I remained speechless.
10 Remove the sickness you laid upon me.
11 With stern warnings you discipline people for their crimes.
12 Listen to my prayer, O Lord.
13 Look away from me so that I may smile again
