[1] A Psalm of David, to make memorial.
[2] O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, rebuke me not in Thine anger; neither chasten me in Thy wrath.
[3] For Thine arrows are gone deep into me, and Thy hand is come down upon me.
[4] There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine indignation; neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
[5] For mine iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
[6] My wounds are noisome, they fester, because of my foolishness.
[7] I am bent and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day.
[8] For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh.
[9] I am benumbed and sore crushed; I groan by reason of the moaning of my heart.
[10] Lord, all my desire is before Thee; and my sighing is not hid from Thee.
[11] My he fluttereth, my strength faileth me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
[12] My friends and my companions stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
[13] They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak crafty devices, and utter deceits all the day.
[14] But I am as a deaf man, I hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
[15] Yea, I am become as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no arguments.
[16] For in Thee, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, do I hope; Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
[17] For I said: 'Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.'
[18] For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.
[19] For I do declare mine iniquity; I am full of care because of my sin.
[20] But mine enemies are strong in health; and they that hate me wrongfully a multiplied.
[21] They also that repay evil for good are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.
[22] Forsake me not, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; O my God, be not far from me.
[23] Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation.
