A psalm of David, for remembering.

יהוה, do not rebuke me in Your anger, and do not discipline me in Your wrath.

For Your arrows have sunk into me, and Your hand has pressed down on me.

There is no wholeness in my flesh because of Your indignation; there is no peace in my bones because of my sin.

For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are heavier than me.

My wounds have become foul, they have festered because of my foolishness.

I am bent over, I am greatly humbled; all day I have walked mourning.

For my loins are filled with a festering sickness, and there is no wholeness in my flesh.

I am faint and greatly crushed; I have roared from the groaning of my heart.

Adonai, before You is all my desire, and my groaning is not hidden from You.

My heart is agitated, my strength has forsaken me, and the light of my eyes, even they are not with me.

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague, and my kinsmen stand far off.

And those who seek my life set traps, and those who seek my harm speak destruction, and all day they plot deceit.

But I am like a deaf man, I do not hear, and like a mute man who does not open his mouth.

And I have become like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth are no rebukes.

For in You, יהוה, I have hoped; You will answer, Adonai my Elohim.

For I said, 'Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slips, they magnify themselves against me.'

For I am ready for a fall, and my pain is continually before me.

For I will declare my iniquity; I will be anxious because of my sin.

But my enemies are alive and strong, and many are my haters of falsehood.

And those who repay evil for good oppose me, because I pursue good.

Do not forsake me, יהוה my Elohim; do not be far from me.

Hurry to my help, Adonai, my salvation.
