Remove your stroke from me; I am spent by the hostility of your hand.
Let him take his rod away from me, and let not dread of him terrify me.
withdraw your hand far from me, and let not dread of you terrify me.
There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin. For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah
Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged; bring me out of my distresses.
Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be in the right?
So you must make images of your tumors and images of your mice that ravage the land, and give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will lighten his hand from off you and your gods and your land.
