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

<>v. 1, <>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.

<>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.

<>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.

<>disease

8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

<>the disquietness of my heart

9 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

<>Lord, all my desire is before thee, <>groaning

10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

<>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.

<>v. 11

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.

<>vv. 12-15, <>mischievous things, <>imagine

13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

<>vv. 12-15

14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

<>vv. 12-15

15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

<>vv. 12-15, <>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.

<>v. 18

19 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

<>mine enemies are lively, <>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.

<>Forsake me not, O LORD, <>O my God, be not far from me.

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

<>O Lord my salvation
