| 1 | A Psalm of David, in commemoration of the Sabbath. |
| 2 | O Lord, do not rebuke me in your fury, nor chastise me in your wrath. |
| 3 | For your arrows have been driven into me, and your hand has been confirmed over me. |
| 4 | There is no health in my flesh before the face of your wrath. There is no peace for my bones before the face of my sins. |
| 5 | For my iniquities have walked over my head, and they have been like a heavy burden weighing upon me. |
| 6 | My sores have putrefied and been corrupted before the face of my foolishness. |
| 7 | I have become miserable, and I have been bent down, even to the end. I have walked with contrition all day long. |
| 8 | For my loins have been filled with illusions, and there is no health in my flesh. |
| 9 | I have been afflicted and greatly humbled. I bellowed from the groaning of my heart. |
| 10 | O Lord, all my desire is before you, and my groaning before you has not been hidden. |
| 11 | My heart has been disturbed. My strength has abandoned me, and the light of my eyes has abandoned me, and it is not with me. |
| 12 | My friends and my neighbors have drawn near and stood against me. And those who were next to me stood far apart. And those who sought my soul used violence. |
| 13 | And those who sought evil accusations against me were speaking emptiness. And they practiced deceitfulness all day long. |
| 14 | But, like someone deaf, I did not hear. And I was like someone mute, not opening his mouth. |
| 15 | And I became like a man who does not hear, and who has no reproofs in his mouth. |
| 16 | For in you, Lord, I have hoped. You will listen to me, O Lord my God. |
| 17 | For I said, "Lest at any time, my enemies might rejoice over me," and, "While my feet are being shaken, they have spoken great things against me." |
| 18 | For I have been prepared for scourges, and my sorrow is ever before me. |
| 19 | For I will announce my iniquity, and I will think about my sin. |
| 20 | But my enemies live, and they have been stronger than me. And those who have wrongfully hated me have been multiplied. |
| 21 | Those who render evil for good have dragged me down, because I followed goodness. |
| 22 | Do not forsake me, O Lord my God. Do not depart from me. |
| 23 | Be attentive to my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation. |
