1. A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2. For thy arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand falleth heavy upon me.
3. There is no soundness in my flesh because of thy anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
4. For my iniquities have gone over my head: as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5. My wounds are offensive, and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
6. I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
7. For my loins are filled with a lothsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8. I am feeble and grievously broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
9. Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
10. My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of my eyes, that also is gone from me.
11. My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my affliction; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
