1Yahweh, when you are angry with me,
2Now it is as though you have shot your arrows at me and wounded me;
3Because you have been angry with me,
4All my sins are like a flood that covers my head;
5Because I have done foolish things,
6Sometimes I am bent over, and sometimes I lie prostrate;
7My body is burning with fever,
8I am completely exhausted, and I have no strength.
9Yahweh, you know that I desire to be healed;
10My heat is pounding heavily, and all my strength is gone.
11My friends and neighbors stay away from me because of my sores;
12And those who want to kill me set traps to catch me;
13Now I act like I’m deaf, and do not listen to what they say.
14I act like a man who does not answer when people talk to him,
15But Yahweh, I trust in you.
16I said to you, “Do not cause me to die, with the result that my enemies will rejoice!
17I say that because I am about to fall down,
18I confess the wrong things that I have done;
19My enemies are healthy and strong;
20Those who do evil things to me in return for my doing good things to them
21Yahweh, do not abandon me!
22Lord, you are the one who saves/rescues me;
