The Epistle of Barnabas
EpiBar
[[A Psalm Chapter of David for remembrance.]]
[1]O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chastise me in thy wrath. [No book]
[2]For thine arrows have light upon me, and thine hand lieth upon me. [No book]
[3]There is nothing sound in my flesh, because of thine anger: neither is there rest in my bones because of my sin. [No book]
[4]For mine iniquities are gone over mine head, and as a weighty burden they are too heavy for me. [No book]
[5]My wounds are putrified, and corrupt because of my foolishness. [No book]
[6]I am bowed, and crooked very sore: I go mourning all the day. [No book]
[7]For my reins are full of burning, and there is nothing sound in my flesh. [No book]
[8]I am weakened and sore broken: I roar for the very grief of mine heart. [No book]
[9]Lord, I pour my whole desire before thee, and my sighing is not hid from thee. [No book]
[10]Mine heart panteth: my strength faileth me, and the light of mine eyes, even they are not mine own. [No book]
[11]My lovers and my friends stand aside from my plague, and my kinsmen stand a far off. [No book]
[12]They also, that seek after my life, lay snares, and they that go about to do me evil, talk wicked things and imagine deceit continually. [No book]
[13]But I as a deaf man heard not, and am as a dumb man, which openeth not his mouth. [No book]
[14]Thus am I as a man, that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs. [No book]
[15]For on thee, O Lord, do I wait: thou wilt hear me, my Lord, my God. [No book]
[16]For I said, Hear me, least they rejoice over me: for when my foot slippeth, they extol themselves against me. [No book]
[17]Surely I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is ever before me. [No book]
[18]When I declare my pain, and am sorry for my sin, [No book]
[19]Then mine enemies are alive and are mighty, and they that hate me wrongfully are many. [No book]
[20]They also, that reward evil for good, are mine adversaries, because I follow goodness. [No book]
[21]Forsake me not, O Lord: be not thou far from me, my God. [No book]
[22]Haste thee to help me, O my Lord, my salvation. [No book]
