1
O
LORD,
rebuke
me not in thy
wrath:
neither
chasten
me in thy hot
displeasure.
2
For 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
[a]
in my
bones
because
of my
sin.
4
For mine
iniquities
are gone
over
mine
head:
as an
heavy
burden
they are too
heavy
for me.
5
My
wounds
stink
and are
corrupt
because
of my
foolishness.
6
I am
troubled
;
[b]
I am bowed
down
greatly;
I
go
mourning
all the
day
long.
7
For my
loins
are
filled
with a
loathsome
disease: and there is no
soundness
in my
flesh.
8
I am
feeble
and
sore
broken
: I have
roared
by reason of the
disquietness
of my
heart.
9
Lord,
all my
desire
is before thee; and my
groaning
is not
hid
from thee.
10
My
heart
panteth
, my
strength
faileth
me: as for the
light
of mine
eyes,
it
also is
gone
[c]
from me.
11
My
lovers
and my
friends
stand
aloof
from
my
sore;
[d]
and my
kinsmen
stand
afar
off.
12
They also that
seek
after my
life
lay
snares
for me: and they that
seek
my
hurt
speak
mischievous
things,
and
imagine
deceits
all the
day
long.
13
But I, as a
deaf
man,
heard
not; and I was as a dumb
man
that
openeth
not his
mouth.
14
Thus I was as a
man
that
heareth
not, and in whose
mouth
are no
reproofs.
15
For in thee, O
LORD,
do I
hope
: thou wilt
hear
, O
Lord
my
God.
16
For I
said
, Hear me, lest otherwise they should
rejoice
over me: when my
foot
slippeth
, they
magnify
themselves against me.
17
For I am
ready
to
halt,
[e]
and my
sorrow
is
continually
before me.
18
For I will
declare
mine
iniquity;
I will be
sorry
for my
sin.
19
But mine
enemies
are
lively,
and they are
strong
: and they that
hate
me
wrongfully
are
multiplied
.
20
They also that
render
evil
for
good
are mine
adversaries
; because I
follow
the thing that
good
is.
21
Forsake
me not, O
LORD:
O my
God,
be not
far
from me.
22
Make
haste
to
help
me, O
Lord
my
salvation.
