1O Jehovah, do not rebuke me in Your wrath, neither chasten me in Your fury. 2For Your arrows pierce me, and Your hand presses down upon me. 3There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your anger, nor peace within myself because of my sin. 4For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 5My wounds have stunk and festered, because of my foolishness. 6I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all day long. 7For my loins are filled with inflammation, and there is no soundness in my flesh. 8I am feeble and severely broken; I have roared because of the groanings of my heart. 9Lord, all my desire is before You; and my sighing is not hidden from You. 10My heart pants; my strength fails me; as for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me. 11My lovers and my friends stand at a distance from my plague; and my relatives stand afar off. 12And those who seek my life lay snares for me; and those who seek my hurt speak of destruction, and devise treachery all day long. 13But like one who is deaf, I do not hear; and I am like a mute one who opens not his mouth. 14Thus I am like a man who hears not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs. 15For in You, O Jehovah, have I hoped; You will hear, O Lord my God. 16For I said, Hear me, lest they rejoice over me; lest, when my foot slips, they magnify themselves against me. 17For I am ready to fall, and my pain is continually before me. 18For I will declare my iniquity; I am afraid because of my sin. 19But my enemies are active; they are strong; and those who hate me wrongfully have multiplied. 20And those who render evil for good oppose me, because I follow what is good. 21Forsake me not, O Jehovah; O my God, be not far from me! 22Make haste to help me, O Lord, my Salvation!
