1To the Chanter, to bring to remembrance Put me not to rebuke (Oh LORD) in thy anger: Oh chasten me not in thy heavy displeasure.
2For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
3There is no whole part in my body, because of thy displeasure: there is no rest in my bones, by reason of my sins.
4For my wickednesses are gone over my head, and are like a sore burthen, too heavy for me to bear.
5My wounds stink and are corrupt, thorow my foolishness.
6I am brought into so great trouble and misery, that I go mourning all the day long.
7For my loins are clean dried up, and there is no whole part in my body.
8I am feeble and sore smitten, I roar for the very disquietness of my heart.
9Lord,(LORDE) thou knowest all my desire, and my groaning is not hid from thee.
10My heart panteth, my strength hath failed me, and the light of mine eyes is gone from me.
11My lovers and friends stand looking upon my trouble, and my kinsmen are gone afar off.
12They that sought after my life, and to do me evil, spake of lies and imagined deceit(disceate) all the day long.
13As for me, I was like a deaf man and heard not: as one that were dumb, not opening his mouth.
14I am become as a man that heareth not: and that can make no resistance with his mouth.
15For in thee, O LORD, is my trust, thou shalt hear me, O Lord(LORDE) my God.
16My desire is, that mine enemies triumph not over me: for if my foot slip, they rejoice greatly against me.
17I am ready to suffer trouble, and my heaviness is ever in my sight.
18For I confess my wickedness, and my sin grieveth me.
19But mine enemies live, and are mighty: and they that hate me without a cause, are many in number.
20They that reward me evil for good, speak evil of me, because I follow the thing that good is.
21Forsake me not (O LORD my God) O go not far from me.
22Haste thee to help me, O Lord(LORDE) my succour.
