1. A Psalm of David, in commemoration of the Sabbath.
2. O Lord, do not rebuke me in your fury, nor chastise me in your wrath.
3. For your arrows have been driven into me, and your hand has been confirmed over me.
4. There is no health in my flesh before the face of your wrath. There is no peace for my bones before the face of my sins.
5. For my iniquities have walked over my head, and they have been like a heavy burden weighing upon me.
6. My sores have putrefied and been corrupted before the face of my foolishness.
7. I have become miserable, and I have been bent down, even to the end. I have walked with contrition all day long.
