6:1O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
6:2Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
6:3My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?
6:4Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.
6:5For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
6:6I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
6:7Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
6:8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
6:9The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
6:10Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
32:1Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
32:2Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
32:3When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
32:4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
32:5I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
32:6For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
32:7Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
32:8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
32:9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
32:10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
32:11Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
38:1O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
38:2For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
38:3There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
38:4For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
38:5My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
38:6I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
38:7For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
38:8I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
38:9Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
38:10My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
38:11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
38:12They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
38:13But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
38:14Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
38:15For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
38:16For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
38:17For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
38:18For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
38:19But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
38:20They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.
38:21Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
38:22Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
39:0To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
39:1I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.
39:2I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
39:3My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,
39:4LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.
39:5Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
39:6Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
39:7And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
39:8Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
39:9I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
39:10Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
39:11When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.
39:12Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
39:13O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
40:0To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
40:1I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
40:2He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
40:3And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
40:4Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
40:5Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
40:6Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
40:7Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
40:8I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
40:9I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
40:10I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
40:11Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
40:12For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
40:13Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
40:14Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
40:15Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
40:16Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
40:17But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
51:1Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
51:2Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
51:3For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
51:4Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
51:5Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
51:6Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
51:7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
51:8Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
51:9Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
51:10Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
51:11Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
51:12Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
51:13Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
51:14Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
51:15O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
51:16For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
51:17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
51:18Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
51:19Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
