1«A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.» O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 2For 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. 4For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 5My wounds stink [and] are corrupt because of my foolishness. 6I am bowed, and crooked very sore: I goe mourning all the day. 7For my reines are full of burning, and there is nothing sound in my flesh. 8I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. 9Lorde, I powre my whole desire before thee, and my sighing is not hid from thee. 10My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. 11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. 12They also, that seeke after my life, laye snares, and they that go about to do me euil, talke wicked things and imagine deceite continually. 13But I, as a deaf [man], heard not; and [I was] as a dumb man [that] openeth not his mouth. 14Thus am I as a man, that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofes. 15For on thee, O Lord, do I waite: thou wilt heare me, my Lord, my God. 16For I said, [Hear me], lest [otherwise] they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify [themselves] against me. 17For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is] continually before me. 18When I declare my paine, and am sory for my sinne, 19But mine enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. 20They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow [the thing that] good [is]. 21Forsake me not, O Lord: be not thou farre from me, my God. 22Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
