| 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 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; 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 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. |
