For my loins are full of burning pain, and no soundness remains in my body.

O Lord, my every desire is before You; my groaning is not hidden from You.

My heart pounds, my strength fails, and even the light of my eyes has faded.

My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance.

My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance.

My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance.

Those who seek my life lay snares; those who wish me harm speak destruction, plotting deceit all day long.

But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth.

I wait for You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God.

For I said, “Let them not gloat over me—those who taunt me when my foot slips.”

For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me.

Yes, I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.

Yes, I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.

Many are my enemies without cause, and many hate me without reason.

Those who repay my good with evil attack me for pursuing the good.

Do not forsake me, O LORD; be not far from me, O my God.

Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.

For the choirmaster. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, “I will watch my ways so that I will not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle as long as the wicked are present.”

I was speechless and still; I remained silent, even from speaking good, and my sorrow was stirred.

My heart grew hot within me; as I mused, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:

My heart grew hot within me; as I mused, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:

“Show me, O LORD, my end and the measure of my days. Let me know how fleeting my life is.

“Show me, O LORD, my end and the measure of my days. Let me know how fleeting my life is.

“Show me, O LORD, my end and the measure of my days. Let me know how fleeting my life is.

You, indeed, have made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime as nothing before You. Truly each man at his best exists as but a breath. Selah

And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.

Deliver me from all my transgressions; do not make me the reproach of fools.

I have become mute; I do not open my mouth because of what You have done.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping. For I am a foreigner dwelling with You, a stranger like all my fathers.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry.

He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.

He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us—none can compare to You—if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.

Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.

I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”

I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”

I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.

I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.

For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.

May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.

But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.

My enemies say with malice: “When will he die and be forgotten?”

My visitor speaks falsehood; he gathers slander in his heart; he goes out and spreads it abroad.

Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

By this I know that You delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.

In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.

For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.

My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When shall I come and appear in God’s presence?

My tears have been my food both day and night, while men ask me all day long, “Where is your God?”

My tears have been my food both day and night, while men ask me all day long, “Where is your God?”

These things come to mind as I pour out my soul: how I walked with the multitude, leading the festive procession to the house of God with shouts of joy and praise.

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him for the salvation of His presence.

O my God, my soul despairs within me. Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon—even from Mount Mizar.

O my God, my soul despairs within me. Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon—even from Mount Mizar.

The LORD decrees His loving devotion by day, and at night His song is with me as a prayer to the God of my life.

I say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?”

Like the crushing of my bones, my enemies taunt me, while they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.

Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.

For You are the God of my refuge. Why have You rejected me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my greatest joy. I will praise You with the harp, O God, my God.

You are my King, O God, who ordains victories for Jacob.

For I do not trust in my bow, nor does my sword save me.

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies.” A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A love song. My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

“Gather to Me My saints, who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”

“Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.

To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?
