A Psalm of David; to bring to remembrance.{HR}O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger,{HR}Nor chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
For thine arrows have entered into me,{HR}And thy hand hath come down upon me.
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger;{HR}There is no peace in my bones because of my sin.
For mine iniquities have passed over my head;{HR}As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
My wounds have stunk;{HR}They have consumed away because of my folly.
I have been bowed down,{HR}I have been brought low to the utmost,{HR}All the day have I walked mourning.
For my loins are filled with burning,{HR}And there is no soundness in my flesh.
I have been feeble and broken to the uttermost;{HR}I have groaned because of the groaning of my heart.
O Lord, before thee [is] all my desire,{HR}And my sighing hath not been hidden from thee.
My heart hath panted;{HR}My strength hath forsaken me,{HR}And the light of mine eyes—{HR}Even they are not with me.
My lovers and my neighbours stand aloof from my calamity,{HR}And my kinsmen have stood afar off.
And those who seek after my soul have laid snares,{HR}And those who seek my hurt have spoken mischievous things,{HR}And all the day do they meditate deceits.
And I as a deaf [man] hear not,{HR}And as a dumb [man] he openeth not his mouth.
And I am as a man who heareth not{HR}And in whose mouth there are no reproofs.
Because for thee, O Jehovah, have I waited;{HR}Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
For I said, Lest they rejoice over me!{HR}At the moving of my foot they magnified themselves against me.
For I am prepared for halting,{HR}And my pain [is] continually before me.
For I will declare mine iniquity,{HR}I am afflicted because of my sin.
But mine enemies have been strong in life,{HR}And those who hate me without cause are multiplied.
And those who recompense me evil for good will oppose me{HR}Because of my pursuing good.
Forsake me not, O Jehovah;{HR}O my God, be not far from me.
Make haste to my help,{HR}O Lord, my salvation.
