| 1. A Psalm of David. To 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! |
