| 1 | A Psalm of David, to make memorial. |
| 1a | — |
| 2 | O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger; neither chasten me in Thy wrath. |
| 3 | For Thine arrows are gone deep into me, and Thy hand is come down upon me. |
| 4 | There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine indignation; neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin. |
| 5 | For mine iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. |
| 6 | My wounds are noisome, they fester, because of my foolishness. |
| 7 | I am bent and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day. |
| 8 | For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh. |
| 9 | I am benumbed and sore crushed; I groan by reason of the moaning of my heart. |
| 10 | Lord, all my desire is before Thee; and my sighing is not hid from Thee. |
| 11 | My heart fluttereth, my strength faileth me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. |
| 12 | My friends and my companions stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off. |
| 13 | They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak crafty devices, and utter deceits all the day. |
| 14 | But I am as a deaf man, I hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. |
| 15 | Yea, I am become as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no arguments. |
| 16 | For in Thee, O LORD, do I hope; Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God. |
| 17 | For I said: 'Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.' |
| 18 | For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me. |
| 19 | For I do declare mine iniquity; I am full of care because of my sin. |
| 20 | But mine enemies are strong in health; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. |
| 21 | They also that repay evil for good are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good. |
| 22 | Forsake me not, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me. |
| 23 | Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation. |
