1 O Lord, do not angrily punish me
2 Your arrows have struck me.
3 No healthy spot is left on my body
4 My guilt has overwhelmed me.
5 My wounds smell rotten.
6 I am bent over and bowed down very low.
7 My insides are filled with burning pain,
8 I am numb and completely devastated.
9 You know all my desires, O Lord,
10 My heart is pounding.
11 My loved ones and my friends keep their distance
12 Those who seek my life lay traps for me.
13 But I am like a person who cannot hear
14 I am like one who cannot hear
15 But I wait with hope for you, O Lord.
16 I said, “Do not let them gloat over me.
17 I am ready to fall.
18 I confess my guilt.
19 My mortal enemies are growing stronger.
20 They pay me back with evil instead of good,
21 Do not abandon me, O Lord.
22 Come quickly to help me, O Lord, my savior.
