LORD, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, Isa 54:8Heb 12:5-11Psa 6:1Jer 30:11Psa 70:1Jer 10:24Hab 3:2Isa 27:8

neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

For your arrows have pierced me, Job 6:4Psa 32:41Sa 5:6Deu 2:15Lam 3:121Sa 5:111Sa 6:9Psa 21:12

your hand presses hard on me.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, Psa 6:2Psa 51:8Psa 31:9-10Isa 1:5-6Lam 3:40-422Ch 26:19Job 2:7-8Job 33:19-22

For my iniquities have gone over my head. Psa 40:12Ezr 9:6Mat 11:28Lam 1:141Pe 2:24Isa 53:11Lev 7:18

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

and meditate deceits all day long.

But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear. Isa 53:7Psa 39:91Pe 2:23Psa 39:22Sa 16:10-12

I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.

in whose mouth are no reproofs.

For I hope in you, LORD. Psa 39:7Psa 17:6Psa 138:3Psa 123:1-3

You will answer, Lord my God.

For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, Deu 32:35Psa 94:18Psa 13:3-4Psa 35:24-26

or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”

For I am ready to fall. Psa 35:15Psa 6:6Isa 53:3-5Mic 4:6-7Psa 38:6Psa 77:2-3

For I will declare my iniquity. Pro 28:13Psa 32:5Job 33:27Psa 51:32Co 7:7-11Job 31:33
