Of David. To keep in memory. O Lord, be not bitter with me in your wrath; let not your hand be on me in the heat of your passion. +For your arrows have gone into my flesh, and I am crushed under the weight of your hand. +My flesh is wasted because of your wrath; and there is no peace in my bones because of my sin. +For my crimes have gone over my head; they are like a great weight which is more than my strength. +My wounds are poisoned and evil-smelling, because of my foolish behaviour. +I am troubled, I am made low; I go weeping all the day. +For my body is full of burning; all my flesh is unhealthy. +I am feeble and crushed down; I gave a cry like a lion because of the grief in my heart. +Lord, all my desire is before you; my sorrow is not kept secret from you. +My heart goes out in pain, my strength is wasting away; as for the light of my eyes, it is gone from me. +My lovers and my friends keep away from my disease; my relations keep far away. +Those who have a desire to take my life put nets for me; those who are designing my destruction say evil things against me, all the day their minds are full of deceit. +But I kept my ears shut like a man without hearing; like a man without a voice, never opening his mouth. +So I was like a man whose ears are shut, and in whose mouth there are no sharp words. +In you, O Lord, is my hope: you will give me an answer, O Lord, my God. +I said, Let them not be glad over me; when my foot is moved, let them not be lifted up with pride against me. +My feet are near to falling, and my sorrow is ever before me. +I will make clear my wrongdoing, with sorrow in my heart for my sin. +But they are strong who have hate for me without cause: those who are against me falsely are increased in numbers. +They give me back evil for good; they are my haters because I go after the thing which is right. +Do not give me up, O Lord; O my God, be near to me. +Come quickly to give me help, O Lord, my salvation. |
