1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1A Davidic psalm for remembrance. LORD, do not punish me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2For Your arrows have sunk into me, and Your hand has pressed down on me.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3There is no health in my body because of Your indignation; there is no strength in my bones because of my sin.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4For my sins have flooded over my head; they are a burden too heavy for me to bear.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5My wounds are foul and festering because of my foolishness.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6I am bent over and brought low; all day long I go around in mourning.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7For my loins are full of burning pain, and there is no health in my body.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8I am faint and severely crushed; I groan because of the anguish of my heart.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9Lord, my every desire is known to You; my sighing is not hidden from You.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10My heart races, my strength leaves me, and even the light of my eyes has faded.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11My loved ones and friends stand back from my affliction, and my relatives stand at a distance.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12Those who seek my life set traps, and those who want to harm me threaten to destroy me; they plot treachery all day long.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13I am like a deaf person; I do not hear. I am like a speechless person who does not open his mouth.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14I am like a man who does not hear and has no arguments in his mouth.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15I put my hope in You, LORD; You will answer, Lord my God.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16For I said, "Don't let them rejoice over me-- those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble."
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17For I am about to fall, and my pain is constantly with me.
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18So I confess my guilt; I am anxious because of my sin.
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19But my enemies are vigorous and powerful; many hate me for no reason.
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20Those who repay evil for good attack me for pursuing good.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21 LORD, do not abandon me; my God, do not be far from me.
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22Hurry to help me, Lord, my Savior.
