I did a foolish thing.\par Now I have infected sores that stink.\par
Then I prayed this prayer:
God, I prayed to you again and again,\par but I did not talk \{about my secret sins\}.\par I only became weaker every time I prayed.\par
I have a fever,\par and my whole body hurts.\par
Run to me, Lord, and save me!\par Lord, come quickly and help me!\par
God, you chose your people.\par You chose us to come to your temple\par and worship you.\par And we are very happy!\par We have all the wonderful things\par in your temple, your holy palace.\par
God, you know I did nothing wrong.\par I can’t hide my sins from you.\par
Surely there is some medicine in Gilead.\par Surely there is a doctor in Gilead.\par So why are the hurts of my people\par
