| 1 | A psalm for David, for a remembrance of the sabbath. |
| 2 | Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; nor chastise me in thy wrath. |
| 3 | For thy arrows are fastened in me: and thy hand hath been strong upon me. |
| 4 | There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins. |
| 5 | For my iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me. |
| 6 | My sores are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness. |
| 7 | I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long. |
| 8 | For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh. |
| 9 | I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning of my heart. |
| 10 | Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hidden from thee. |
| 11 | My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not with me. |
| 12 | My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off: |
| 13 | And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long. |
| 14 | But I, as a deaf man, heard not: and as a dumb man not opening his mouth. |
| 15 | And I became as a man that heareth not: and that hath no reproofs in his mouth. |
| 16 | For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God. |
| 17 | For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me. |
| 18 | For I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is continually before me. |
| 19 | For I will declare my inequity: and I will think for my sin. |
| 20 | But my enemies live, and are stronger that I: and they hate me wrongfully are multiplied. |
| 21 | They that render evil for good, have detracted me, because I followed goodness. |
| 22 | Forsake me not, O Lord my God: do not thou depart from me. |
| 23 | Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation. |
