1A Psalm by David, for a memorial. 2For your arrows have pierced me, 3There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, 4For my iniquities have gone over my head. 5My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, 6I am pained and bowed down greatly. 7For my waist is filled with burning. 8I am faint and severely bruised. 9Lord, all my desire is before you. 10My heart throbs. 11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. 12They also who seek after my life lay snares. 13But I, as a deaf man, do not hear. 14Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, 15For in you, LORD, do I hope. 16For I said, "Do not let them gloat over me, 17For I am ready to fall. 18For I will declare my iniquity. 19But my enemies are vigorous and many. 20They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, 21Do not forsake me, LORD. 22Hurry to help me,
