A prayer in times of trouble

(A psalm by David to be used when an offering is made.)

1. When you are angry, Lord,please don't punish meor even correct me.

2. You shot me with your arrows,and you struck mewith your hand.

3. My body hurts all overbecause of your anger.Even my bones are in pain,and my sins

4. are so heavythat I am crushed.

5. Because of my foolishness,I am covered with soresthat stink and spread.

6. My body is twisted and bent,and I groan all day long.

7. Fever has my back in flames,and I hurt all over.

8. I am worn out and weak,moaning and in distress.

9. You, Lord, know every oneof my deepest desires,and my noisy groansare no secret to you.

10. My heart is beating fast.I feel weak all over,and my eyes are red.

11. Because of my sickness,no friends or neighbourswill come near me.

12. All who want me deadset traps to catch me,and those who wantto harm and destroy meplan and plot all day.

13. I am not able to hearor speak a word;

14. I am completely deafand can't make a sound.

15. I trust you, Lord God,and you will do something.

16. I said, “Don't let them laughor boast because I slip.”

17. I am about to collapsefrom constant pain.

18. I told you my sins,and I am sorry for them.

19. Many deadly and powerfulenemies hate me,

20. and they repay evil for goodbecause I try to do right.

21. You are the Lord God!Stay nearbyand don't desert me.

22. You are the one who saves me.Please hurry and help.
