( 15)

6 Behold, thou hast made my| days- as a| handbreadth; And mine| age is as nothing before thee.

Verily every man at his best| state|| Is| al... to ge... ther vanity.

7 Surely every man walketh in a| vain| show;|| Surely they are dis qui... et| ed in| vain:

He heapeth up| riches,|| And| knoweth not| who shall gather them.

8 And now, Lord, what wait I| for?| My| hope| is in thee.

Deliver me from| all- my transgressions;|| Make me not the re proach of the| foolish.

9 I was dumb, I opened| not my mouth;|| Be cause| thou didst it.

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

10 When thou with- re| bukes| Dost correct man for iniquity;

Thou makest his beauty to consume away| like a| moth|| Surely| eve... ry| man is| vanity.

II Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear un| to my| cry;|| Hold not thy peace| at my| tears:

For I am a stran... ger| with thee,| And a sojourner, as| all my fa... thers were.

12 O spare me,|| That I| may re| co... ver| strength, Before I go| hence,|| And| be| no more.

GLORY BE TO THE FATHER, AND TO THE| SON:|| AND| TO THE HO... LY| GHOST:

As IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING, IS NOW, AND| EV... ER| SHALL RE: WORLD| WITH... OUT| END.| A... MEN.
