¹A Psalm of David, for remembrance. ²For Your arrows have pierced me deeply, ³There is no soundness in my body ⁴For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; ⁵My wounds are foul and festering ⁶I am bent and brought low; ⁷For my loins are full of burning pain, ⁸I am numb and badly crushed; ⁹O Lord, my every desire is before You; ¹⁰My heart pounds, my strength fails, ¹¹My beloved and friends shun my disease, ¹²Those who seek my life lay snares; ¹³But like a deaf man, I do not hear; ¹⁴I am like a man who cannot hear, ¹⁵I wait for You, O LORD; ¹⁶For I said, “Let them not gloat over me — ¹⁷For I am ready to fall, ¹⁸Yes, I confess my iniquity; ¹⁹Many are my enemies without cause, ²⁰Those who repay my good with evil ²¹Do not forsake me, O LORD; ²²Come quickly to help me,
