| | 1 | A Psalm of David. T bring to remembrance. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your wrath, Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure! | |
| | 2 | For Your arrows pierce me deeply, And Your hand presses me down. | |
| | 3 | There is no soundness in my flesh Because of Your anger, Nor any health in my bones Because of my sin. | |
| | 4 | For my iniquities have gone over my head; Like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. | |
| | 5 | My wounds are foul and festering Because of my foolishness. | |
| | 6 | I am troubled, I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. | |
| | 7 | For my loins are full of inflammation, And there is no soundness in my flesh. | |
| | 8 | I am feeble and severely broken; I groan because of the turmoil of my heart. | |
| | 9 | Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You. | |
| | 10 | My heart pants, my strength fails me; As for the light of my eyes, it also has gone from me. | |
| | 11 | My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague, And my relatives stand afar off. | |
| | 12 | Those also who seek my life lay snares for me; Those who seek my hurt speak of destruction, And plan deception all the day long. | |
| | 13 | But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; And I am like a mute who does not open his mouth. | |
| | 14 | Thus I am like a man who does not hear, And in whose mouth is no response. | |
| | 15 | For in You, O LORD, I hope; You will hear, O Lord my God. | |
| | 16 | For I said, "Hear me, lest they rejoice over me, Lest, when my foot slips, they exalt themselves against me." | |
| | 17 | For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me. | |
| | 18 | For I will declare my iniquity; I will be in anguish over my sin. | |
| | 19 | But my enemies are vigorous, and they are strong; And those who hate me wrongfully have multiplied. | |
| | 20 | Those also who render evil for good, They are my adversaries, because I follow what is good. | |
| | 21 | Do not forsake me, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me! | |
| | 22 | Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation! | |
