| # Chapter 37
#### 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 inequity : and I will think for my sin.
#### 20 | But my enemies live, and are stronger that I : and they hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
#### 21 | They that render evil for good, have detracted me, because I followed goodness.
#### 22 | Forsake me not, O Lord my God : do not thou depart from me.
#### 23 | Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation.
