1 - A psalm for David, for a remembrance of the sabbath.

2 - Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; nor chastise me in thy wrath.

3 - For thy arrows are fastened in me: and thy hand hath been strong upon me.

4 - There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins.

5 - For my iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.

6 - My sores are putrefied and corrupted, because of my foolishness.

7 - I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long.

8 - For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh.

9 - I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning of my heart.

10 - Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hidden from thee.

11 - My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not with me.

12 - My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off:

13 - And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long.

14 - But I, as a deaf man, heard not: and as a dumb man not opening his mouth.

15 - And I became as a man that heareth not: and that hath no reproofs in his mouth.

16 - For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.

17 - For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.

18 - For I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is continually before me.

19 - For I will declare my iniquity: and I will think for my sin.

20 - But my enemies live, and are stronger than I: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

21 - They that render evil for good, have detracted me, because I followed goodness.

22 - For sake me not, O Lord my God: do not thou depart from me.

23 - Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation.
