 14 Be  glad,  O ye  just,  and  rejoice  in  the  Lord: and glory  all  ye  that  are  right  of  heart.

Glory, etc.

1 O Lord, rebuke  me  not  in  thine  indignation: nor chastise  me  in  thy  wrath.

2 For thine  arrows  stick  fast  in  me: and  thou  hast laid thy  hand  heavily  upon  me.

3 There is  no  health  in  my  flesh  because  of  thy wrath; there is  no  rest  to  my  bones,  because  of  my sins.

4 For my  iniquities  are  gone  over  my  head:  and, like a heavy  burden,  press  sorely  upon  me.

5 My  wounds  have  putrified  and  are  corrupt, because of  my  foolishness.

6 I am become  miserable,  and  am  bowed  down even to  the  end: I go  sorrowfully  all  the  day  long.

7 For my  loins  are  filled  with  illusions: and  there is no  soundness  in  my  flesh.

8 I am afflicted  and  humbled  exceedingly: I have roared for  the  groaning  of  my  heart.

9 Lord, all  my  desire  is  before  thee: and  my groaning  is  not  hidden  from  thee.

10 My  heart  is  troubled,  my  strength  hath  failed me: the very  light  of  mine  eyes  is  gone  from  me.

11 My  friends  and  my  neighbours  drew  near,  and stood up  against  me.

12 They  that  were  once  nigh  me  stood  afar  off: and they  that  sought  after  my  soul  did  violence against me.

13 And  they  that  sought  to  do  me  evil  talked  vanities: and  imagined  deceits  all  the  day  long.
