A Psalm of David; to bring to remembrance.
O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your wrath,
Nor discipline me in Your burning anger.
For Your arrows have sunk into me and penetrate deeply,
And Your hand has pressed down on me and greatly disciplined me.
There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation;
There is no health in my bones because of my sin.
For my iniquities have gone over my head [like the waves of a flood];
As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.
I am numb and greatly bruised [deadly cold and completely worn out];
I groan because of the disquiet and moaning of my heart.
My heart throbs violently, my strength fails me;
And as for the light of my eyes, even that has also gone from me.
Those who seek my life lay snares for me,
And those who seek to injure me threaten mischievous things and destruction;
They devise treachery all the day long.
For I pray, “May they not rejoice over me,
Who, when my foot slips, would boast against me.”
But my [numerous] enemies are vigorous and strong,
And those who hate me without cause are many.
