Psalm to ask God for forgiveness
“1 Psalm of David. In Memory.
2 Lord, do not rebuke me for your anger
do not punish me for your indignation.
3 For your arrows have pierced me
and your arm unloaded on me:
4 there is no healthy part in my flesh,
because of your anger.
There is nothing intact in my bones,
because of my sins;
5 I feel drowned by my faults:
They are like a weight that exceeds my strength.
6 My wounds stink and ooze,
because of my foolishness;
7 I am overwhelmed, dejected to the extreme,
And I’m sad all day.
8 I feel a burning in my insides,
and there is no healthy part in my flesh;
9 I am exhausted, totally undone,
and I roar louder than a lion.
10 You, Lord, know all my desires,
and my groans are not hidden from you:
11 my heart is pounding, my strength is running out
and I miss even the light of my eyes.
12 My friends and neighbors turn away from my wounds,
my relatives keep their distance;
13 those who attack me lay snares for me,
and those who seek my ruin threaten me with death;
all day they project deceit.
14 But I, like a deaf man, do not hear;
like a mute, I do not open my mouth:
15 I look like one who does not hear
and has nothing to reply.
16 I hope in you, Lord:
You will answer me, Lord, my God.
17 I only ask you not to laugh at me,
do not take advantage when my feet stumble.
18 Because I’m about to fall
and the pain does not depart from me:
19 yes, I confess my guilt
and I am full of sorrow for my sin.
20 My mortal enemies are strong;
and there are many who hate me for no reason,
21 those who repay me with evil
and they attack me because I seek the good.
22 But you, Lord, do not forsake me,
My God, do not stay far from me;
23 Make haste to come to my aid,
my Lord, my savior!”
