Collection of Psalms

July 29

My wounds fester and are loathsome

because of my sinful folly.

My back is filled with searing pain;

there's no health in my body .

I am feeble and utterly crushed;

I groan in anguish of heart.

Hear my cry for mercy

as I call to you for help,

as I lift up my hands

toward your Most Holy Place.

When I kept silent,

my bones wasted away

through my groaning all day long.

For day and night

your hand was heavy upon me;

my strength was sapped

as in the heat of summer.

Then I acknowledge my sin to you

and did not cover up my inquity.

I said, "I will confess

my transgression to the Lord" -

and you forgive the guilt of my sin.

Let your face shine on your servant;

save me in your unfailing love.

Let me not be put to shame, O Lord,

for I have cried out to you;

but let the wicked be put to shame

and lie silent in the grave.

Let their lying lips be silenced,

for with pride and contempt

they speak arrogantly against the righteous.
