1. O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. | |
2. For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore. | |
3. There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. | |
4. For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. | |
5. My wounds stink and are corrupt 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 filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh. | |
8. I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. | |
9. Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. | |
10. My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. | |
11. My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. | |
12. They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long. | |
13. But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. | |
14. Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs. | |
15. For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. | |
16. For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. | |
17. For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me. | |
18. For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. | |
19. But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. | |
20. They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is. | |
21. Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me. | |
22. Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation. |
