## Do Not Forsake Me, O Yahweh
###### 1
O Yahweh, reprove me not in Your wrath, And discipline me not in Your burning anger.
###### 2
For Your arrows have pressed deep into me, And Your hand has pressed down upon me.
###### 3
There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation; There is no health in my bones because of my sin.
###### 4
For my iniquities go over my head; As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.
###### 5
My wounds stink _and_ rot Because of my folly.
###### 6
I am bent over and greatly bowed down; I go mourning all day long.
###### 7
For my loins are filled with burning, And there is no soundness in my flesh.
###### 8
I am faint and badly crushed; I groan because of the agitation of my heart.
###### 9
Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You.
###### 10
My heart throbs, my strength forsakes me; And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.
###### 11
My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off.
###### 12
Those who search for my life lay snares _for me_; And those who seek _to do_ me evil have threatened destruction, And they meditate on deception all day long.
###### 13
But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; And _I am_ like a mute man who does not open his mouth.
###### 14
And I am like a man who does not hear, And in whose mouth are no reproofs.
###### 15
For I wait on You, O Yahweh; You will answer, O Lord my God.
###### 16
For I said, "_Save_, lest they be glad over me, _Who_, when my foot stumbles, magnify themselves against me."
###### 17
For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.
###### 18
For I confess my iniquity; I am full of anxiety because of my sin.
###### 19
But my enemies are vigorous _and_ strong, And those who wrongfully hate me abound.
###### 20
And those who repay evil for good, They accuse me, for I pursue what is good.
###### 21
Do not forsake me, O Yahweh; O my God, do not be far from me!
###### 22
Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
