¹⁰ No longer let your hand be hard on me; I am wasted by the blows of your hand.

³⁴ Let him take away his rod from me and not send his fear on me:

²¹ Take your hand far away from me; and let me not be overcome by fear of you.

⁵ So make images of the growths caused by your disease and of the mice which are damaging your land; and give glory to the God of Israel: it may be that the weight of his hand will be lifted from you and from your gods and from your land.

⁸ Let them be covered together in the dust; let their faces be dark in the secret place of the underworld.

¹⁶ Be turned to me, and have mercy on me; for I am troubled and have no helper.

¹⁷ The troubles of my heart are increased: O take me out of my sorrows.

⁴ For the weight of your hand was on me day and night; my body became dry like the earth in summer. (Selah.)

³ My flesh is wasted because of your wrath; and there is no peace in my bones because of my sin.

⁴ For my crimes have gone over my head; they are like a great weight which is more than my strength.
