- O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
- For your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down upon me.
- Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; my bones have no soundness because of my sin.
- My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.
- My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly.
|
- I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.
- My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.
- I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.
- All my longings lie open before you, O Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.
- My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes.
|
- My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away.
- Those who seek my life set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they plot deception.
- I am like a deaf man, who cannot hear, like a mute, who cannot open his mouth;
- I have become like a man who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.
