LORD, do not rebuke me in Your wrath, And do not punish me in Your burning anger.

O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

For Your arrows have sunk deep into me, And Your hand has pressed down on me.

For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.

There is no healthy part in my flesh because of Your indignation; There is no health in my bones because of my sin.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

I am bent over and greatly bowed down; I go in mourning all day long.

I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

I feel faint and badly crushed; I groan because of the agitation of my heart.

My heart throbs, my strength fails me; And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.

My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand far away.

Those who seek my life lay snares for me; And those who seek to injure me have threatened destruction, And they plot deception all day long.

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.

But I, like a person who is deaf, do not hear; And I am like a person who cannot speak, who does not open his mouth.

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

Yes, I am like a person who does not hear, And in whose mouth are no arguments.

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

For I wait for You, LORD; You will answer, Lord my God.

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

For I said, "May they not rejoice over me, Who, when my foot slips, would exalt themselves over me."

For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.

For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

For I admit my guilt; I am full of anxiety because of my sin.

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

They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

Do not abandon me, LORD; My God, do not be far from me!

Forsake me not, O Lord : O my God, be not far from me.

Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation!

Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
