| 1O LORD, don’t rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage! | 1A Psalm of David, for remembrance. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath. |
| 2Your arrows have struck deep, and your blows are crushing me. | 2For Your arrows have pierced me deeply, and Your hand has pressed down on me. |
| 3Because of your anger, my whole body is sick; my health is broken because of my sins. | 3There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin. |
| 4My guilt overwhelms me— it is a burden too heavy to bear. | 4For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are a burden too heavy to bear. |
| 5My wounds fester and stink because of my foolish sins. | 5My wounds are foul and festering because of my sinful folly. |
| 6I am bent over and racked with pain. All day long I walk around filled with grief. | 6I am bent and brought low; all day long I go about mourning. |
| 7A raging fever burns within me, and my health is broken. | 7For my loins are full of burning pain, and no soundness remains in my body. |
| 8I am exhausted and completely crushed. My groans come from an anguished heart. | 8I am numb and badly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart. |
| 9You know what I long for, Lord; you hear my every sigh. | 9O Lord, my every desire is before You; my groaning is not hidden from You. |
| 10My heart beats wildly, my strength fails, and I am going blind. | 10My heart pounds, my strength fails, and even the light of my eyes has faded. |
| 11My loved ones and friends stay away, fearing my disease. Even my own family stands at a distance. | 11My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance. |
| 12Meanwhile, my enemies lay traps to kill me. Those who wish me harm make plans to ruin me. All day long they plan their treachery. | 12Those who seek my life lay snares; those who wish me harm speak destruction, plotting deceit all day long. |
| 13But I am deaf to all their threats. I am silent before them as one who cannot speak. | 13But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth. |
| 14I choose to hear nothing, and I make no reply. | 14I am like a man who cannot hear, whose mouth offers no reply. |
| 15For I am waiting for you, O LORD. You must answer for me, O Lord my God. | 15I wait for You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God. |
| 16I prayed, “Don’t let my enemies gloat over me or rejoice at my downfall.” | 16For I said, “Let them not gloat over me—those who taunt me when my foot slips.” |
| 17I am on the verge of collapse, facing constant pain. | 17For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me. |
| 18But I confess my sins; I am deeply sorry for what I have done. | 18Yes, I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin. |
| 19I have many aggressive enemies; they hate me without reason. | 19Many are my enemies without cause, and many hate me without reason. |
| 20They repay me evil for good and oppose me for pursuing good. | 20Those who repay my good with evil attack me for pursuing the good. |
| 21Do not abandon me, O LORD. Do not stand at a distance, my God. | 21Do not forsake me, O LORD; be not far from me, O my God. |
| 22Come quickly to help me, O Lord my savior. | 22Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior. |
