1 A Psalm of David, for remembrance. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath. | TOSK |
2 For Your arrows have pierced me deeply, and Your hand has pressed down on me. | TOSK |
3 There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin. | C | TOSK |
4 For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are a burden too heavy to bear. | C | TOSK |
5 My wounds are foul and festering because of my sinful folly. | C | TOSK |
6 I am bent and brought low; all day long I go about mourning. | C¹ | C² | TOSK |
7 For my loins are full of burning pain, and no soundness remains in my body. | C¹ | C² | TOSK |
8 I am numb and badly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart. | C | TOSK |
9 O Lord, my every desire is before You; my groaning is not hidden from You. | C | TOSK |
10 My heart pounds, my strength fails, and even the light of my eyes has faded. | C | TOSK |
11 My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance. | C | TOSK |
12 Those who seek my life lay snares; those who wish me harm speak destruction, plotting deceit all day long. | C | TOSK |
13 But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth. | TOSK |
14 I am like a man who cannot hear, whose mouth offers no reply. | TOSK |
15 I wait for You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God. | TOSK |
16 For I said, “Let them not gloat over me—those who taunt me when my foot slips.” | TOSK |
17 For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me. | TOSK |
18 Yes, I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin. | TOSK |
19 Many are my enemies without cause, and many hate me without reason. | TOSK |
20 Those who repay my good with evil attack me for pursuing the good. | TOSK |
21 Do not forsake me, O LORD; be not far from me, O my God. | TOSK |
22 Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior. | TOSK |
