1 O Lord, do not ^arebuke me in Your wrath,
Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure! ‡

2 For Your arrows pierce me deeply,
And Your hand presses me down.

3 There is no soundness in my flesh
Because of Your anger,
Nor any health in my bones
Because of my sin.

4 For my iniquities have gone over my head;
Like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
