and my distress grew worse.
3 My heart became hot within me.

and my lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath!
6 Surely a man goes about as a shadow!
Surely for nothing they are in turmoil;

8 Deliver me from all my transgressions.
Do not make me the scorn of the fool!
