1. O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger,nor discipline me in your wrath!
2. For your arrows have sunk into me,and your hand has come down on me.
3. There is no soundness in my fleshbecause of your indignation;there is no health in my bonesbecause of my sin.
4. For my iniquities have gone over my head;like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
5. My wounds stink and festerbecause of my foolishness,
6. I am utterly bowed down and prostrate;all the day I go about mourning.
7. For my sides are filled with burning,and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8. I am feeble and crushed;I groan because of the tumult of my heart.
9. O Lord, all my longing is before you;my sighing is not hidden from you.
10. My heart throbs; my strength fails me,and the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me.
11. My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague,and my nearest kin stand far off.
12. Those who seek my life lay their snares;those who seek my hurt speak of ruinand meditate treachery all day long.
