Do Not Forsake Me, O Lord

38[A Psalm of David, for the memorial offering.] O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath!H4210H1732H2142H3068H3198H7110H3256H2534 2For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has come down on me.H2671H5181H3027H5181 3There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin.H4974H1320H6440H2195H7965H6106H6440H2403 4For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.H5771H5674H7218H3515H4853H3513 5My wounds stink and fester because of my foolishness,H2250H887H4743H6440H200 6I am utterly bowed down and prostrate; all the day I go about mourning.H5753H7817H3966H1980H6937H3117 7For my sides are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.H3689H4390H7033H4974H1320 8I am feeble and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart.H6313H3966H1794H7580H5100H3820 9O Lord, all my longing is before you; my sighing is not hidden from you.H136H8378H585H5641 10My heart throbs; my strength fails me, and the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me.H3820H5503H3581H5800H216H5869H1992H369 11My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague, and my nearest kin stand far off.H157H7453H5975H5048H5061H7138H5975H7350 12Those who seek my life lay their snares; those who seek my hurt speak of ruin and meditate treachery all day long.H1245H5315H5367H1875H7451H1696H1942H1897H4820H3117 13But I am like a deaf man; I do not hear, like a mute man who does not open his mouth.H2795H8085H483H6605H6310 14I have become like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth are no rebukes.H376H8085H6310H8433 15But for you, O LORD, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.H3068H3176H6030H136H430 16For I said, "Only let them not rejoice over me, who boast against me when my foot slips!"H559H8055H7272H4131H1431 17For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever before me.H3559H6761H4341H8548 18I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin.H5046H5771H1672H2403 19But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty, and many are those who hate me wrongfully.H341H2416H6105H8130H8267H7231 20Those who render me evil for good accuse me because I follow after good.H7999H7451H2896H7853H7291H2896 21Do not forsake me, O LORD! O my God, be not far from me!H5800H3068H430H7368 22Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!H2363H5833H136H8668
