Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
1  A Psalm. Of David. To keep in memory.
2 O Lord, be not bitter with me in your wrath; let not your hand be on me in the heat of your passion.
3 For your arrows have gone into my flesh, and I am crushed under the weight of your hand.
4 My flesh is wasted because of your wrath; and there is no peace in my bones because of my sin.
5 For my crimes have gone over my head; they are like a great weight which is more than my strength.
6 My wounds are poisoned and evil-smelling, because of my foolish behaviour.
7 I am troubled, I am made low; I go weeping all the day.
