The Prayer of a Sufferer[w]

38O LORD, don't punish me in your anger!H4210H1732H2142H3068H3198H7110H3256H2534
2You have wounded me with your arrows; you have struck me down.H2671H5181H3027H5181
3Because of your anger, I am in great pain; my whole body is diseased because of my sins.H4974H1320H6440H2195H7965H6106H6440H2403
4I am drowning in the flood of my sins; they are a burden too heavy to bear.H5771H5674H7218H3515H4853H3513
5Because I have been foolish, my sores stink and rot.H2250H887H4743H6440H200
6I am bent over, I am crushed; I mourn all day long.H5753H7817H3966H1980H6937H3117
7I am burning with fever and I am near death.H3689H4390H7033H4974H1320
8I am worn out and utterly crushed; my heart is troubled, and I groan with pain.H6313H3966H1794H7580H5100H3820
9O Lord, you know what I long for; you hear all my groans.H136H8378H585H5641
10My heart is pounding, my strength is gone, and my eyes have lost their brightness.H3820H5503H3581H5800H216H5869H1992H369
11My friends and neighbors will not come near me, because of my sores; even my family keeps away from me.H157H7453H5975H5048H5061H7138H5975H7350
12Those who want to kill me lay traps for me, and those who want to hurt me threaten to ruin me; they never stop plotting against me.H1245H5315H5367H1875H7451H1696H1942H1897H4820H3117
13I am like the deaf and cannot hear, like the dumb and cannot speak.H2795H8085H483H6605H6310
14I am like those who do not answer, because they cannot hear.H376H8085H6310H8433
15But I trust in you, O LORD; and you, O Lord my God, will answer me.H3068H3176H6030H136H430
16Don't let my enemies gloat over my distress; don't let them boast about my downfall!H559H8055H7272H4131H1431
17I am about to fall and am in constant pain.H3559H6761H4341H8548
18I confess my sins; they fill me with anxiety.H5046H5771H1672H2403
19My enemies are healthy and strong; there are many who hate me for no reason.H341H2416H6105H8130H8267H7231
20Those who pay back evil for good are against me because I try to do right.H7999H7451H2896H7853H7291H2896
21Do not abandon me, O LORD; do not stay away, my God!H5800H3068H430H7368
22Help me now, O Lord my savior!H2363H5833H136H8668
