Turn to me, and have mercy upon me, for I am alone and afflicted.

The troubles of my heart are enlarged; bring me out of my distresses.

Therefore you shall make images of your tumors and images of your mice that are ruining the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps He will lighten His hand from off you, from off your gods, and from off your land.

Let Him take His rod away from me, and do not let the dread of Him terrify me.

Remove Your hand far from me, and let not the dread of You make me afraid.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your anger, nor peace within myself because of my sin.

For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

Would you indeed annul My judgment? Would you condemn Me so that you may be justified?
