1
A Psalm[H4210] of David[H1732], to bring to remembrance[H2142]. O LORD[H3068], rebuke[H3198] me not in thy wrath[H7110]: neither chasten[H3256] me in thy hot displeasure[H2534].
2
For thine arrows[H2671] stick fast[H5181] in me, and thy hand[H3027] presseth me sore[H5181].
3
There is no soundness[H4974] in my flesh[H1320]because[H6440] of thine anger[H2195]; neither is there any rest[H7965] in my bones[H6106]because[H6440] of my sin[H2403].
4
For mine iniquities[H5771] are gone over[H5674] mine head[H7218]: as an heavy[H3515]burden[H4853] they are too heavy[H3513] for me.
5
My wounds[H2250]stink[H887] and are corrupt[H4743]because[H6440] of my foolishness[H200].
6
I am troubled[H5753]; I am bowed down[H7817]greatly[H3966]; I go[H1980]mourning[H6937] all the day[H3117] long.
7
For my loins[H3689] are filled[H4390] with a loathsome[H7033] disease: and there is no soundness[H4974] in my flesh[H1320].
8
I am feeble[H6313] and sore[H3966]broken[H1794]: I have roared[H7580] by reason of the disquietness[H5100] of my heart[H3820].
9Lord[H136], all my desire[H8378] is before thee; and my groaning[H585] is not hid[H5641] from thee.
10
My heart[H3820]panteth[H5503], my strength[H3581]faileth[H5800] me: as for the light[H216] of mine eyes[H5869], it[H1992] also is gone[H369] from me.
11
My lovers[H157] and my friends[H7453]stand[H5975] aloof from[H5048] my sore[H5061]; and my kinsmen[H7138]stand[H5975] afar off[H7350].
12
They also that seek[H1245] after my life[H5315] lay snares[H5367] for me: and they that seek[H1875] my hurt[H7451]speak[H1696] mischievous things[H1942], and imagine[H1897]deceits[H4820] all the day[H3117] long.
13
But I, as a deaf[H2795]man[H483], heard[H8085] not; and I was as a dumb man[H483] that openeth[H6605] not his mouth[H6310].
14
Thus I was as a man[H376] that heareth[H8085] not, and in whose mouth[H6310] are no reproofs[H8433].
15
For in thee, O LORD[H3068], do I hope[H3176]: thou wilt hear[H6030], O Lord[H136] my God[H430].
16
For I said[H559], Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice[H8055] over me: when my foot[H7272]slippeth[H4131], they magnify[H1431] themselves against me.
17
For I am ready[H3559] to halt[H6761], and my sorrow[H4341] is continually[H8548] before me.
18
For I will declare[H5046] mine iniquity[H5771]; I will be sorry[H1672] for my sin[H2403].
19
But mine enemies[H341] are lively[H2416], and they are strong[H6105]: and they that hate[H8130] me wrongfully[H8267] are multiplied[H7231].
20
They also that render[H7999]evil[H7451] for good[H2896] are mine adversaries[H7853]; because I follow[H7291] the thing that good[H2896] is.
21Forsake[H5800] me not, O LORD[H3068]: O my God[H430], be not far[H7368] from me.
22
Make haste[H2363] to help[H5833] me, O Lord[H136] my salvation[H8668].
