1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1A psalm of David, written to get God's attention. O LORD, do not continue to rebuke me in your anger! Do not continue to punish me in your raging fury!
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2For your arrows pierce me, and your hand presses me down.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3My whole body is sick because of your judgment; I am deprived of health because of my sin.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4For my sins overwhelm me; like a heavy load, they are too much for me to bear.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5My wounds are infected and starting to smell, because of my foolish sins.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6I am dazed and completely humiliated; all day long I walk around mourning.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7For I am overcome with shame and my whole body is sick.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8I am numb with pain and severely battered; I groan loudly because of the anxiety I feel.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9O Lord, you understand my heart's desire; my groaning is not hidden from you.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10My heart beats quickly; my strength leaves me; I can hardly see.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11Because of my condition, even my friends and acquaintances keep their distance; my neighbors stand far away.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12Those who seek my life try to entrap me; those who want to harm me speak destructive words; all day long they say deceitful things.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13But I am like a deaf man--I hear nothing; I am like a mute who cannot speak.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14I am like a man who cannot hear and is incapable of arguing his defense.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15Yet I wait for you, O LORD! You will respond, O Lord, my God!
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16I have prayed for deliverance, because otherwise they will gloat over me; when my foot slips they will arrogantly taunt me.
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17For I am about to stumble, and I am in constant pain.
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18Yes, I confess my wrongdoing, and I am concerned about my sins.
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19But those who are my enemies for no reason are numerous; those who hate me without cause outnumber me.
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20They repay me evil for the good I have done; though I have tried to do good to them, they hurl accusations at me.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21Do not abandon me, O LORD! My God, do not remain far away from me!
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22Hurry and help me, O Lord, my deliverer!
