For Your arrows have pressed deep into me,

And Your hand has pressed down upon me.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation;

There is no health in my bones because of my sin.

As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.

Because of my [fn]folly.

Lord, all my desire is [fn]before You;

My [fn]loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague;

And my kinsmen stand afar off.

And those who seek [fn]to do me evil have [fn]threatened destruction,

And they meditate on deception all day long.

And I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth.

You will answer, O Lord my God.

Make haste to help me,

O Lord, my salvation!
