| 1A Psalm of David, for a memorial. O LORD, rebuke me not in Your wrath, And chasten me not in Your burning anger. | 1O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath! |
| 2For Your arrows have sunk deep into me, And Your hand has pressed down on me. | 2For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has come down on me. |
| 3There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation; There is no health in my bones because of my sin. | 3There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin. |
| 4For my iniquities are gone over my head; As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me. | 4For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me. |
| 5My wounds grow foul and fester Because of my folly. | 5My wounds stink and fester because of my foolishness, |
| 6I am bent over and greatly bowed down; I go mourning all day long. | 6I am utterly bowed down and prostrate; all the day I go about mourning. |
| 7For my loins are filled with burning, And there is no soundness in my flesh. | 7For my sides are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh. |
| 8I am benumbed and badly crushed; I groan because of the agitation of my heart. | 8I am feeble and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart. |
| 9Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You. | 9O Lord, all my longing is before you; my sighing is not hidden from you. |
| 10My heart throbs, my strength fails me; And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me. | 10My heart throbs; my strength fails me, and the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me. |
| 11My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off. | 11My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague, and my nearest kin stand far off. |
| 12Those who seek my life lay snares for me; And those who seek to injure me have threatened destruction, And they devise treachery all day long. | 12Those who seek my life lay their snares; those who seek my hurt speak of ruin and meditate treachery all day long. |
| 13But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; And I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth. | 13But I am like a deaf man; I do not hear, like a mute man who does not open his mouth. |
| 14Yes, I am like a man who does not hear, And in whose mouth are no arguments. | 14I have become like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth are no rebukes. |
| 15For I hope in You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God. | 15But for you, O LORD, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer. |
| 16For I said, "May they not rejoice over me, Who, when my foot slips, would magnify themselves against me." | 16For I said, “Only let them not rejoice over me, who boast against me when my foot slips!” |
| 17For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me. | 17For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever before me. |
| 18For I confess my iniquity; I am full of anxiety because of my sin. | 18I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin. |
| 19But my enemies are vigorous and strong, And many are those who hate me wrongfully. | 19But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty, and many are those who hate me wrongfully. |
| 20And those who repay evil for good, They oppose me, because I follow what is good. | 20Those who render me evil for good accuse me because I follow after good. |
| 21Do not forsake me, O LORD; O my God, do not be far from me! | 21Do not forsake me, O LORD! O my God, be not far from me! |
| 22Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation! | 22Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation! |
