\d A psalm written by David, asking God not to forget him
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 Yahweh, when you are angry with me,
|
|
\q2 do not rebuke me and punish me!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 Now it is as though you have shot your arrows at me and wounded me;
|
|
\q2 it is as though you have struck me and knocked me down.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 Because you have been angry with me,
|
|
\q2 I am suffering great pain.
|
|
\q1 Because of my sin,
|
|
\q2 my whole body is diseased.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 All my sins are like a flood that covers my head;
|
|
\q2 they are like a load that is very heavy; I cannot carry them.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 Because I have done foolish things,
|
|
\q2 I have sores that have become worse, and they stink.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 Sometimes I am bent over, and sometimes I lie prostrate;
|
|
\q2 I mourn all day.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 My body is burning with fever,
|
|
\q2 and I am very ill.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 I am completely exhausted, and I have no strength.
|
|
\q2 I am very distressed in my inner being, and I groan with pain.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 Yahweh, you know the that I desire you to heal me;
|
|
\q2 you hear me while I am groaning.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 My heart pounds heavily, and all my strength is gone.
|
|
\q2 I am no longer able to see well.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 My friends and neighbors stay away from me because of my sores;
|
|
\q2 even my own family stays far from me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 Those who want to kill me set traps to catch me;
|
|
\q2 those who want to harm me discuss the ways that they can get rid of me;
|
|
\q2 they plot against me all day.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 Now I act like a deaf man and do not listen to what they say.
|
|
\q2 I act like a man who cannot talk, and I say nothing to reply to them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 I act like a man who does not answer when people talk to him
|
|
\q2 because he cannot hear anything.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 But Yahweh, I trust in you.
|
|
\q2 My Lord God, you will answer me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 I said to you, "Do not cause me to die so that my enemies will rejoice!
|
|
\q2 If troubles overwhelm me, my enemies will do very bad things to me!"
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 I say that because I am about to fall down,
|
|
\q2 and I constantly have pain.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 I confess the wrong things that I have done;
|
|
\q2 I am very sorry for the sins that I have committed.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 19 My enemies are healthy and strong;
|
|
\q2 there are many people who hate me for no reason.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 20 Those who do evil things to me in return for my doing good things to them
|
|
\q2 oppose me because I try to do what is right.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 21 Yahweh, do not abandon me!
|
|
\q2 My God, do not stay far from me!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 22 Lord, you are the one who saves me;
|
|
\q2 Quickly come and help me!
