- 1. <A Psalm by David, for a memorial.><br>
Yahweh, don't rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure. - 2. For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.
- 3. There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
- 4. For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
- 5. My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.
- 6. I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.
- 7. For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.
- 8. I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
- 9. Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
- 10. My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.
- 11. My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.
- 12. They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.
- 13. But I, as a deaf man, don't hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth.
- 14. Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.
- 15. For in you, Yahweh, do I hope. You will answer, Lord my God.
- 16. For I said, "Don't let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."
- 17. For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.
- 18. For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.
- 19. But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.
- 20. They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, because I follow what is good.
- 21. Don't forsake me, Yahweh. My God, don't be far from me.
- 22. Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.
