1 耶和华啊! 求你不要在忿怒中责备我, 也不要在烈怒中管教我。
2 因为你的箭射入我身, 你的手压住我。
3 因你的忿怒, 我体无完肤; 因我的罪恶, 我的骨头都不安妥。
4 我的罪孽高过我的头, 如同重担, 使我担当不起。
5 因为我的愚昧, 我的伤口发臭流脓。
6 我屈身弯腰, 弯到极低, 整天哀痛, 到处行走。
7 我的两腰灼痛, 我体无完肤。
8 我已经疲乏无力, 被压得粉碎了; 我因心里痛苦而唉哼。
9 主啊! 我的心愿都在你面前, 我不向你隐瞒我的叹息。
10 我的心剧烈跳动, 我的力量衰退; 连我眼中的光彩也消逝了。
11 我的良朋密友因我的灾祸, 都站到一旁去; 我的亲人也都站得远远的。
12 那些寻索我命的, 设下网罗; 那些想要害我的, 口说威吓的话, 他们整天思想诡计。
13 至于我, 像个聋子, 不能听见; 像个哑巴, 不能开口。
14 我竟变成了一个像是不能听见的人, 变成了一个口中不能反驳的人。
15 耶和华啊! 我等候你; 主我的 神啊! 你必应允我。
16 因为我曾说: "你要让他们向我夸耀; 我的脚滑跌的时候, 不要让他们向我夸口。"
17 我随时会跌倒, 我的痛苦常在我面前。
18 我要承认我的罪孽, 我要因我的罪忧伤。
19 但我强悍的仇敌众多, 无理憎恨我的不断增加。
20 那些以恶报善的都与我作对, 因为我追求良善。
21 耶和华啊! 求你不要离弃我; 我的 神啊, 求你不要远离我。
22 拯救我的主啊! 求你快来帮助我。
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.
