*A Psalm of David, for remembrance.*

## Text

[1] O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger
or discipline me in Your wrath. [2] For Your arrows have pierced me deeply,
and Your hand has pressed down on me. [3] There is no soundness in my body
because of Your anger;
there is no rest in my bones
because of my sin. [4] For my iniquities have overwhelmed me;
they are a burden too heavy to bear. [5] My wounds are foul and festering
because of my sinful folly. [6] I am bent and brought low;
all day long I go about mourning. [7] For my loins are full of burning pain,
and no soundness remains in my body. [8] I am numb and badly crushed;
I groan in anguish of heart. [9] O Lord, my every desire is before You;
my groaning is not hidden from You. [10] My heart pounds, my strength fails,
and even the light of my eyes has faded. [11] My beloved and friends shun my disease,
and my kinsmen stand at a distance. [12] Those who seek my life lay snares;
those who wish me harm speak destruction,
plotting deceit all day long. [13] But like a deaf man, I do not hear;
and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth. [14] I am like a man who cannot hear,
whose mouth offers no reply. [15] I wait for You, O LORD;
You will answer, O Lord my God. [16] For I said, “Let them not gloat over me—
those who taunt me when my foot slips.” [17] For I am ready to fall,
and my pain is ever with me. [18] Yes, I confess my iniquity;
I am troubled by my sin. [19] Many are my enemies without cause,
and many hate me without reason. [20] Those who repay my good with evil
attack me for pursuing the good. [21] Do not forsake me, O LORD;
be not far from me, O my God. [22] Come quickly to help me,
O Lord my Savior.
