The Book of Psalms
Psalm 37
Domine, ne in furore.
A prayer of a penitent for the remission of his sins. The third penitential psalm.
 1 |
A psalm for David, for a remembrance of the sabbath. |
2 |
Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; nor chastise me in thy wrath. |
3 |
For thy arrows are fastened in me: and thy hand hath been strong upon me. |
4 |
There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins. |
5 |
For my iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me. |
6 |
My sores are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness. |
7 |
I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long. |
8 |
For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh. |
9 |
I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning of my heart. |
10 |
Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hidden from thee. |
11 |
My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not with me. |
12 |
My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off: |
13 |
And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long. |
14 |
But I, as a deaf man, heard not: and as a dumb man not opening his mouth. |
15 |
And I became as a man that heareth not: and that hath no reproofs in his mouth. |
16 |
For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God. |
17 |
For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me. |
18 |
For I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is continually before me. |
19 |
For I will declare my iniquity: and I will think for my sin. |
20 |
But my enemies live, and are stronger than I: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. |
21 |
They that render evil for good, have detracted me, because I followed goodness. |
22 |
For sake me not, O Lord my God: do not thou depart from me. |
23 |
Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation. |
