1A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.⇆ compare2For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.⇆ compare3There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.⇆ compare4For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.⇆ compare5My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.⇆ compare6I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.⇆ compare7For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.⇆ compare8I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.⇆ compare9Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.⇆ compare10My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.⇆ compare11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.⇆ compare12They 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.⇆ compare13But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.⇆ compare14Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.⇆ compare15For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.⇆ compare16For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.⇆ compare17For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.⇆ compare18For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.⇆ compare19But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.⇆ compare20They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.⇆ compare21Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.⇆ compare22Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.⇆ compare
