Compare: Psalm 38

BSB

A Psalm of David, for remembrance. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.

BSB

For Your arrows have pierced me deeply, and Your hand has pressed down on me.

BSB

There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.

BSB

For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are a burden too heavy to bear.

BSB

My wounds are foul and festering because of my sinful folly.

BSB

I am bent and brought low; all day long I go about mourning.

BSB

For my loins are full of burning pain, and no soundness remains in my body.

BSB

I am numb and badly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.

BSB

O Lord, my every desire is before You; my groaning is not hidden from You.

BSB

My heart pounds, my strength fails, and even the light of my eyes has faded.

BSB

My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance.

BSB

Those who seek my life lay snares; those who wish me harm speak destruction, plotting deceit all day long.

BSB

But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth.

BSB

I am like a man who cannot hear, whose mouth offers no reply.

BSB

I wait for You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God.

BSB

For I said, “Let them not gloat over me— those who taunt me when my foot slips.”

BSB

For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me.

BSB

Yes, I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.

BSB

Many are my enemies without cause, and many hate me without reason.

BSB

Those who repay my good with evil attack me for pursuing the good.

BSB

Do not forsake me, O LORD; be not far from me, O my God.

BSB

Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.
