1Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your wrath,
2For your arrows have pierced me,
3There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation,
4For my iniquities have gone over my head.
5My wounds are loathsome and corrupt
6I am in pain and bowed down greatly.
7For my waist is filled with burning.
8I am faint and severely bruised.
9Lord, all my desire is before you.
10My heart throbs.
11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague.
12They also who seek after my life lay snares.
13But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear.
14Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear,
15For I hope in you, Yahweh.
16For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me,
17For I am ready to fall.
18For I will declare my iniquity.
19But my enemies are vigorous and many.
20They who render evil for good are also adversaries to me,
21Don’t forsake me, Yahweh.
22Hurry to help me,
