v1

A psalm for David, for a remembrance of the sabbath.

v2

Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; nor chastise me in thy wrath.

v3

For thy arrows are fastened in me: and thy hand hath been strong upon me.

v4

There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins.

v5

For my iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.

v6

My sores are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness.

v7

I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long.

v8

For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh.

v9

I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning of my heart.

v10

Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hidden from thee.

v11

My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not with me.

v12

My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off:

v13

And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long.

v14

But I, as a deaf man, heard not: and as a dumb man not opening his mouth.

v15

And I became as a man that heareth not: and that hath no reproofs in his mouth.

v16

For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.

v17

For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.

v18

For I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is continually before me.

v19

For I will declare my iniquity: and I will think for my sin.

v20

But my enemies live, and are stronger that I: and they hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

v21

They that render evil for good, have detracted me, because I followed goodness.

v22

Forsake me not, O Lord my God: do not thou depart from me.

v23

Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation.
