O Lord, do not be bitter with me in your wrath; do not send punishment on me in the heat of your passion.

O Lord, be not bitter with me in your wrath; let not your hand be on me in the heat of your passion.

Their poison is like the poison of a snake; they are like the adder, whose ears are shut;

I am on fire with passion for your house; and the hard things which are said about you have come on me.

They gave me poison for my food; and bitter wine for my drink.

The passion of my soul's desire is for the house of the Lord; my heart and my flesh are crying out for the living God.

My passion has overcome me; because my haters are turned away from your words.

Their tongues are sharp like the tongue of a snake; the poison of snakes is under their lips. (Selah.)
