1. |
O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath; Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. |
2. |
For thine arrows stick fast in me, And thy hand presseth me sore. |
3. |
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin. |
4. |
For mine iniquities are gone over my head: As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. |
5. |
My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness. |
6. |
I am pained and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. |
7. |
For my loins are filled with burning; And there is no soundness in my flesh. |
8. |
I am faint and sore bruised: I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my heart. |
9. |
Lord, all my desire is before thee; And my groaning is not hid from thee. |
10. |
My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me: As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. |
11. |
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off. |
12. |
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. |
13. |
But I, as a deaf man, hear not; And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. |
14. |
Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs. |
15. |
For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope: Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God. |
16. |
For I said, Lest they rejoice over me: When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. |
17. |
For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me. |
18. |
For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. |
19. |
But mine enemies are lively, `and' are strong; And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. |
20. |
They also that render evil for good Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good. |
21. |
Forsake me not, O Jehovah: O my God, be not far from me. |
22. |
Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation. Psalm 39 For the Chief Musician, Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. |
