1  ^cO Lord, rebuke me not in your anger,

nor discipline me in your wrath!

2  For your ^darrows have sunk into me,

and your hand has come down on 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 ^emy iniquities have gone over my head;

like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
