6 The worldling walks in a vain show, Turmoils himself [for wealth] in vain; He heapeth up, but doth not know To whom it [after] will remain.
7 And now, O Lord, what wait I for? My [trust and] hope is all on thee;
8 Save me from all my sins, lest I To [wicked] fools a scorn should be.
9 As dumb I opened not my mouth, Because [I knew] the scourge was thine.
10 Remove from me thy heavy hand, Under thy [chastening] stroke I pine.
