1 {A Davidic Psalm{ {For Remembrance{ O Yahweh, do not correct me in Your wrath Or discipline me in Your fury."
2 For Your arrows have settled deep in me, And Your hand is settling down on me."
3 There is no soundness in my flesh in view of Your indignation; There is no peace in my bones in view of my sin.
4 For my depravities, they pass over my head; Like a heavy load, they are too heavy for me."
5 My welts stink and putrefy In view of my folly.
6 I am wretched; I bow down very low. The entire day I walk in somberness.
7 For my hips, they are filled with searing pain, And there is no soundness in my flesh."
8 I give way and am utterly crushed. I roar out of the anguish of my heart.
9 O Yahweh, all my yearning is in front of You, And my sighing is not concealed from You."
10 My heart throbs; my vigor forsakes me, And the light of my eyes, even that is not with me."
11 Those loving me and my associates are standing aloof from my contagion, And my near friends stand far off."
12 Those seeking my soul lay traps, And those seeking after evil to me, they speak woes; The entire day they mumble deceptions."
13 Yet I am like a deaf man; I do not hear, And like a mute who does not open his mouth."
14 So I have become like a man who is not hearing, In whose mouth there are no reproofs."
15 But on You, O Yahweh, have I placed my hope. You Yourself shall answer, O Yahweh my Elohim."
16 For I pleaded:Otherwise they might rejoice against me; When my feet slip, they would magnify themselves over me."
17 But I am prepared for limping, And my pain is in front of me continually."
18 For I shall profess my depravity; I am anxious because of my sin.
19 Yet those who are my enemies gratuitously, are plentiful, And those hating me falsely have multiplied."
20 Those repaying evil for good, They are my adversaries in my pursuit of the good."
21 Do not forsake me, O Yahweh; My Elohim, do not be far from me."
22 Do hurry to my help, O Yahweh, my Salvation. {Permanent{ {For Acclamation{ "
