1 A Psalm of David, for remembrance. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.
2 For Your arrows have pierced me deeply, and Your hand has pressed down on me.
3 There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.
4 For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are a burden too heavy to bear.
5 My wounds are foul and festering because of my sinful folly.
6 I am bent and brought low; all day long I go about mourning.

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