Psalms 38:1

O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.

2 For Your arrows have pierced me deeply, and Your hand has pressed down on me.

3 There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
