A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrence.
O lord,
rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in
thy hot displeasure.
02 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy
hand presseth me sore.
03 There is no soundness in my flesh because of
thine anger; neither is there any rest in my
bones because of my sin.
04 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head:
as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
05 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my
foolishness.
06 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go
mourning all the day long.
07 For my loins are filled with a loathsome
disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
08 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by
reason of the disquietness of my heart.
09 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 from
me.
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my
sore; 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 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.
