1 Não me repreendas, Senhor, na tua ira,

nem me castigues no teu furor.

2 Cravam-se em mim as tuas setas,

e a tua mão recai sobre mim.

3 Não há parte sã na minha carne, por causa da tua indignação;

não há saúde nos meus ossos, por causa do meu pecado.

4 Pois já se elevam acima de minha cabeça as minhas iniquidades;

como fardos pesados, excedem as minhas forças.

5 Tornam-se infectas e purulentas as minhas chagas,

por causa da minha loucura.

6 Sinto-me encurvado e sobremodo abatido,

ando de luto o dia todo.

7 Ardem-me os lombos,

e não há parte sã na minha carne.

8 Estou aflito e mui quebrantado;

dou gemidos por efeito do desassossego do meu coração.

9 Na tua presença, Senhor, estão os meus desejos todos,

e a minha ansiedade não te é oculta.

10 Bate-me excitado o coração, faltam-me as forças,

e a luz dos meus olhos, essa mesma já não está comigo.

11 Os meus amigos e companheiros afastam-se da minha praga,

e os meus parentes ficam de longe.

12 Armam ciladas contra mim os que tramam tirar-me a vida;

os que me procuram fazer o mal dizem coisas perniciosas

e imaginam engano todo o dia.

13 Mas eu, como surdo, não ouço

e, qual mudo, não abro a boca.

14 Sou, com efeito, como quem não ouve

e em cujos lábios não há réplica.

15 Pois em ti, Senhor, espero;

tu me atenderás, Senhor, Deus meu.

16 Porque eu dizia: Não suceda que se alegrem de mim

e contra mim se engrandeçam quando me resvala o pé.

17 Pois estou prestes a tropeçar;

a minha dor está sempre perante mim.

18 Confesso a minha iniquidade;

suporto tristeza por causa do meu pecado.

19 Mas os meus inimigos são vigorosos e fortes,

e são muitos os que sem causa me odeiam.

20 Da mesma sorte, os que pagam o mal pelo bem

são meus adversários, porque eu sigo o que é bom.

21 Não me desampares, Senhor;

Deus meu, não te ausentes de mim.

22 Apressa-te em socorrer-me,

Senhor, salvação minha.

1 O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath;

Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2 For thine arrows stick fast in me,

And thy hand presseth me sore.

3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation;

Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

4 For mine iniquities are gone over my head:

As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5 My wounds are loathsome and corrupt,

Because of my foolishness.

6 I am pained and bowed down greatly;

I go mourning all the day long.

7 For my loins are filled with burning;

And there is no soundness in my flesh.

8 I am faint and sore bruised:

I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

9 Lord, all my desire is before thee;

And my groaning is not hid from thee.

10 My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me:

As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague;

And my kinsmen stand afar off.

12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me;

And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things,

And meditate deceits all the day long.

13 But I, as a deaf man, hear not;

And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

14 Yea, I am as a man that heareth not,

And in whose mouth are no reproofs.

15 For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope:

Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.

16 For I said, Lest they rejoice over me:

When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

17 For I am ready to fall,

And my sorrow is continually before me.

18 For I will declare mine iniquity;

I will be sorry for my sin.

19 But mine enemies are lively, and are strong;

And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

20 They also that render evil for good

Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.

21 Forsake me not, O Jehovah:

O my God, be not far from me.

22 Make haste to help me,

O Lord, my salvation.

1 LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.

2 Your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down on me.

3 Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin.

4 My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.

5 My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly.

6 I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.

7 My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.

8 I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.

9 All my longings lie open before you, Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.

10 My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes.

11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away.

12 Those who want to kill me set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they scheme and lie.

13 I am like the deaf, who cannot hear, like the mute, who cannot speak;

14 I have become like one who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.

15 LORD, I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God.

16 For I said, "Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip."

17 For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.

18 I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.

19 Many have become my enemies without cause "; those who hate me without reason are numerous.

20 Those who repay my good with evil lodge accusations against me, though I seek only to do what is good.

21 LORD, do not forsake me; do not be far from me, my God.

22 Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Savior.
