A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O JehovahH3068, rebukeH3198 me not in thy wrathH2534; Neither chastenH3256 me in thy hot displeasureH2534. For thine arrowsH2671 stick fastH5181 in me, And thy handH3027 presseth me soreH5181. There is no soundnessH4974 in my fleshH1320 becauseH6440 of thine indignationH2195; Neither is there any healthH7965 in my bonesH6106 becauseH6440 of my sinH2403. For mine iniquitiesH5771 are gone overH5674 my headH7218: As a heavyH3515 burdenH4853 they are too heavyH3513 for me. My woundsH2250 are loathsomeH887 and corruptH4743, BecauseH6440 of my foolishnessH200. I am painedH5753 and bowed downH7817 greatlyH3966; I goH1980 mourningH6937 all the dayH3117 long. For my loinsH3689 are filledH4390 with burningH7033; And there is no soundnessH4974 in my fleshH1320. I am faintH6313 and soreH3966 bruisedH1794: I have groanedH7580 by reason of the disquietnessH5100 of my heartH3820. LordH136, all my desireH8378 is before thee; And my groaningH585 is not hidH5641 from thee. My heartH3820 throbbethH5503, my strengthH3581 failethH5800 me: As for the lightH216 of mine eyesH5869, itH1992 also is goneH369 from me. My loversH157 and my friendsH7453 standH5975 aloof fromH5048 my plagueH5061; And my kinsmenH7138 standH5975 afar offH7350. They also that seekH1245 after my lifeH5315 lay snaresH5367 for me; And they that seekH1875 my hurtH7451 speakH1696 mischievous thingsH1942, And meditateH1897 deceitsH4820 all the dayH3117 long. But I, as a deafH2795 man, hearH8085 not; And I am as a dumb manH483 that openethH6605 not his mouthH6310. Yea, I am as a manH376 that hearethH8085 not, And in whose mouthH6310 are no reproofsH8433. For in thee, O JehovahH3068, do I hopeH3176: Thou wilt answerH6030, O LordH136 my GodH430. For I saidH559, Lest they rejoiceH8055 over me: When my footH7272 slippethH4131, they magnifyH1431 themselves against me. For I am readyH3559 to fallH6761, And my sorrowH4341 is continuallyH8548 before me. For I will declareH5046 mine iniquityH5771; I will be sorryH1672 for my sinH2403. But mine enemiesH341 are livelyH2416, and are strongH6105; And they that hateH8130 me wrongfullyH8267 are multipliedH7231. They also that renderH7999 evilH7451 for goodH2896 Are adversariesH7853 unto me, because I followH7291 the thing that is goodH2896. ForsakeH5800 me not, O JehovahH3068: O my GodH430, be not farH7368 from me. Make hasteH2363 to helpH5833 me, O LordH136, my salvationH8668.
