| 1A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. | 1LORD! Do not rebuke me in your anger; do not correct me in your wrath, |
| 2For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore. | 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 thine anger; neither is there any rest 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 mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an 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 are corrupt because of my foolishness. | 5My wounds have putrefied and festered because of my foolishness. |
| 6I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. | 6I am bent over and walk about greatly bowed down; all day long I go around mourning. |
| 7For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh. | 7My insides are burning and my body is unhealthy. |
| 8I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. | 8I am weak and utterly crushed; I cry out in distress because of my heart's anguish. |
| 9Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. | 9Lord, all my longings are before you, and my groaning is not hidden from you. |
| 10My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. | 10My heart pounds, my strength fails me, even the gleam in my eye is gone. |
| 11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. | 11As for my friends and my neighbors, they stand aloof from my distress; even my close relatives stand at a distance. |
| 12They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the 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, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. | 13I am like the deaf, who cannot hear, and like the mute, who cannot open his mouth. |
| 14Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs. | 14Indeed, I have become like a man who hears nothing, and in whose mouth there is no rebuke. |
| 15For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. | 15Because I have placed my hope in you, LORD, you will answer, Lord, my God. |
| 16For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. | 16For I said, "Do not let them gloat over me, as they congratulate themselves when my foot slips." |
| 17For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me. | 17Indeed, I am being set up for a fall, and I am continuously reminded of my pain. |
| 18For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. | 18I confess my iniquity, and my sin troubles me. |
| 19But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. | 19But my enemies are alive and well; those who hate me for no reason are numerous. |
| 20They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is. | 20They reward my good with evil, opposing me because I seek to do good. |
| 21Forsake me not, 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. |
