A Psalm of David, for remembrance. O LORD , do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath .
O Jehovah , rebuke me not in thy wrath; Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure .
For Your arrows have pierced me deeply , and Your hand has pressed down on me.
For thine arrows stick fast in me, And thy hand presseth me sore .
There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger ; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation ; Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are a burden too heavy to bear .
For mine iniquities are gone over my head: As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me .
My wounds are foul and festering because of my sinful folly .
My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness .
I am bent and brought low ; all day long I go about mourning.
I am pained and bowed down greatly ; I go mourning all the day long .
For my loins are full of burning pain, and no soundness remains in my body .
For my loins are filled with burning ; And there is no soundness in my flesh .
I am numb and badly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.
I am faint and sore bruised: I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
O Lord, my every desire is before You ; my groaning is not hidden from You .
Lord, all my desire is before thee ; And my groaning is not hid from thee .
My heart pounds , my strength fails, and even the light of my eyes has faded .
My heart throbbeth , my strength faileth me: As for the light of mine eyes , it also is gone from me .
My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance .
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off .
Those who seek my life lay snares ; those who wish me harm speak destruction , plotting deceit all day long.
They also that seek after my life lay snares `for me '; And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things , And meditate deceits all the day long.
But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man , I do not open my mouth.
But I, as a deaf man, hear not ; And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
I am like a man who cannot hear , whose mouth offers no reply .
Yea, I am as a man that heareth not , And in whose mouth are no reproofs .
I wait for You , O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God.
For in thee , O Jehovah, do I hope: Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
For I said, “Let them not gloat over me those who taunt me when my foot slips .
For I said, Lest they rejoice over me : When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me .
For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.
Yes, I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.
For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
Many are my enemies without cause , and many hate me without reason .
But mine enemies are lively , ` and ' are strong; And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied .
Those who repay my good with evil attack me for pursuing the good.
They also that render evil for good Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.

Forsake me not , O Jehovah: O my God, be not far from me.
Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior .
Make haste to help me, O Lord , my salvation . Psalm 39 For the Chief Musician, Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
