Prayer of a Suffering Sinner

38[A Davidic psalm for remembrance.] LORD, do not punish me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.H4210H1732H2142H3068H3198H7110H3256H2534
2For Your arrows have sunk into me, and Your hand has pressed down on me.H2671H5181H3027H5181
3There is no soundness in my body because of Your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin.H4974H1320H6440H2195H7965H6106H6440H2403
4For my sins have flooded over my head; they are a burden too heavy for me to bear.H5771H5674H7218H3515H4853H3513
5My wounds are foul and festering because of my foolishness.H2250H887H4743H6440H200
6I am bent over and brought low; all day long I go around in mourning.H5753H7817H3966H1980H6937H3117
7For my loins are full of burning pain, and there is no health in my body.H3689H4390H7033H4974H1320
8I am faint and severely crushed; I groan because of the anguish of my heart.H6313H3966H1794H7580H5100H3820
9Lord, my every desire is known to You; my sighing is not hidden from You.H136H8378H585H5641
10My heart races, my strength leaves me, and even the light of my eyes has faded.H3820H5503H3581H5800H216H5869H1992H369
11My loved ones and friends stand back from my affliction, and my relatives stand at a distance.H157H7453H5975H5048H5061H7138H5975H7350
12Those who seek my life set traps, and those who want to harm me threaten to destroy me; they plot treachery all day long.H1245H5315H5367H1875H7451H1696H1942H1897H4820H3117
13I am like a deaf person; I do not hear. I am like a speechless person who does not open his mouth.H2795H8085H483H6605H6310
14I am like a man who does not hear and has no arguments in his mouth.H376H8085H6310H8433
15I put my hope in You, LORD; You will answer, Lord my God.H3068H3176H6030H136H430
16For I said, "Don't let them rejoice over me— those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble."H559H8055H7272H4131H1431
17For I am about to fall, and my pain is constantly with me.H3559H6761H4341H8548
18So I confess my guilt; I am anxious because of my sin.H5046H5771H1672H2403
19But my enemies are vigorous and powerful; many hate me for no reason.H341H2416H6105H8130H8267H7231
20Those who repay evil for good attack me for pursuing good.H7999H7451H2896H7853H7291H2896
21LORD, do not abandon me; my God, do not be far from me.H5800H3068H430H7368
22Hurry to help me, Lord, my Savior.H2363H5833H136H8668
