O LORD, don't rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage! |
2
|
Your arrows have struck deep, and your blows are crushing me. |
3
|
Because of your anger, my whole body is sick; my health is broken because of my sins. |
4
|
My guilt overwhelms me-- it is a burden too heavy to bear. |
5
|
My wounds fester and stink because of my foolish sins. |
6
|
I am bent over and racked with pain. All day long I walk around filled with grief. |
7
|
A raging fever burns within me, and my health is broken. |
8
|
I am exhausted and completely crushed. My groans come from an anguished heart. |
9
|
You know what I long for, Lord; you hear my every sigh. |
10
|
My heart beats wildly, my strength fails, and I am going blind. |
11
|
My loved ones and friends stay away, fearing my disease. Even my own family stands at a distance. |
12
|
Meanwhile, my enemies lay traps to kill me. Those who wish me harm make plans to ruin me. All day long they plan their treachery. |
13
|
But I am deaf to all their threats. I am silent before them as one who cannot speak. |
14
|
I choose to hear nothing, and I make no reply. |
15
|
For I am waiting for you, O LORD. You must answer for me, O Lord my God. |
16
|
I prayed, "Don't let my enemies gloat over me or rejoice at my downfall." |
17
|
I am on the verge of collapse, facing constant pain. |
18
|
But I confess my sins; I am deeply sorry for what I have done. |
19
|
I have many aggressive enemies; they hate me without reason. |
20
|
They repay me evil for good and oppose me for pursuing good. |
21
|
Do not abandon me, O LORD. Do not stand at a distance, my God. |
22
|
Come quickly to help me, O Lord my savior. For Jeduthun, the choir director: A psalm of David. |
