| 1O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath! | 1LORD! Do not rebuke me in your anger; do not correct me in your wrath, |
| 2For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has come down on me. | 2because your arrows have sunk deep into me, and your hand has come down hard on me. |
| 3There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin. | 3My body is unhealthy due to your anger, and my bones have no rest due to my sin. |
| 4For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me. | 4My iniquities loom over my head; like a cumbersome burden, they are too heavy for me. |
| 5My wounds stink and fester because of my foolishness, | 5My wounds have putrefied and festered because of my foolishness. |
| 6I am utterly bowed down and prostrate; all the day I go about mourning. | 6I am bent over and walk about greatly bowed down; all day long I go around mourning. |
| 7For my sides are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh. | 7My insides are burning and my body is unhealthy. |
| 8I am feeble and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart. | 8I am weak and utterly crushed; I cry out in distress because of my heart's anguish. |
| 9O Lord, all my longing is before you; my sighing is not hidden from you. | 9Lord, all my longings are before you, and my groaning is not hidden from you. |
| 10My heart throbs; my strength fails me, and the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me. | 10My heart pounds, my strength fails me, even the gleam in my eye is gone. |
| 11My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague, and my nearest kin stand far off. | 11As for my friends and my neighbors, they stand aloof from my distress; even my close relatives stand at a distance. |
| 12Those who seek my life lay their snares; those who seek my hurt speak of ruin and meditate treachery all day long. | 12Those who seek my life lay snares for me; those who seek to do me harm brag all day long about their wicked planning. |
| 13But I am like a deaf man; I do not hear, like a mute man who does not open his mouth. | 13I am like the deaf, who cannot hear, and like the mute, who cannot open his mouth. |
| 14I have become like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth are no rebukes. | 14Indeed, I have become like a man who hears nothing, and in whose mouth there is no rebuke. |
| 15But for you, O LORD, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer. | 15Because I have placed my hope in you, LORD, you will answer, Lord, my God. |
| 16For I said, “Only let them not rejoice over me, who boast against me when my foot slips!” | 16For I said, "Do not let them gloat over me, as they congratulate themselves when my foot slips." |
| 17For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever before me. | 17Indeed, I am being set up for a fall, and I am continuously reminded of my pain. |
| 18I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin. | 18I confess my iniquity, and my sin troubles me. |
| 19But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty, and many are those who hate me wrongfully. | 19But my enemies are alive and well; those who hate me for no reason are numerous. |
| 20Those who render me evil for good accuse me because I follow after good. | 20They reward my good with evil, opposing me because I seek to do good. |
| 21Do not forsake me, O LORD! O my God, be not far from me! | 21Don't forsake me, LORD. My God, do not be so distant from me. |
| 22Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation! | 22Come quickly and help me, Lord, my deliverer. |
