38

   1   O Lord, do not rebuke me in thy anger,
    nor punish me in thy wrath.
   2   For thou hast aimed thy arrows ^note at me,
    and thy hand weighs heavy upon me.
   3   Thy indignation has left no part of my body unscarred;
  there is no health in my whole frame because of my sin.
   4   For my iniquities have poured over my head;
they are a load heavier than I can bear.
5   My wounds fester and stink because of my folly.
   6   I am bowed down and utterly prostrate.
  All day long I go about as if in mourning,
   7   for my loins burn with fever,
    and there is no wholesome flesh in me.
   8   All battered and benumbed,
    I groan aloud in my heart's longing.
   9   O Lord, all my lament lies open before thee
  and my sighing is no secret to thee.
10   My heart beats fast, my strength has ebbed away,
    and the light has gone out of my eyes.
11   My friends and my companions shun me in my sickness,
  and my kinsfolk keep far away.
     12   Those who wish me dead defame me,
  those who mean to injure me spread cruel gossip
  and mutter slanders all day long.
   13   But I am deaf, I do not listen;
  I am like a dumb man who cannot open his mouth.
   14   I behave like a man who cannot hear
    and whose tongue offers no defence.
   15   On thee, O Lord, I fix my hope;
thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
   16   I said, ‘Let them never rejoice over me
  who exult when my foot slips.’
   17   I am indeed prone to stumble,
  and suffering is never far away.
     18   I make no secret of my iniquity
    and am anxious at the thought of my sin.

Book 1
   19   But many are my enemies, all without cause, ^note
  and many those who hate me wrongfully.
   20   Those who repay good with evil
  oppose me because my purpose is good.
     21   But, Lord, do not thou forsake me;
  keep not far from me, my God.
22   Hasten to my help, O Lord my salvation.
