1 - A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2 - For thy arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand falleth heavy upon me.

3 - [There is] no soundness in my flesh because of thy anger; neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin.

4 - For my iniquities have gone over my head: as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5 - My wounds are offensive, [and] are corrupt because of my foolishness.

6 - I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

7 - For my loins are filled with a lothsome [disease]: and [there is] no soundness in my flesh.

8 - I am feeble and grievously 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 my eyes, that also is gone from me.

11 - My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my affliction; 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, and my sorrow [is] continually before me.

18 - For I will declare my iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

19 - But my enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

20 - They also that render evil for good are my adversaries; because I follow [the thing that is] good.

21 - Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

22 - Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
