1 Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your wrath,

neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

2 For your arrows have pierced me,

your hand presses hard on me.

3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation,

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

4 For my iniquities have 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 in pain and bowed down greatly.

I go mourning all day long.

7 For my waist is filled with burning.

There is no soundness in my flesh.

8 I am faint and severely bruised.

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

9 Lord, all my desire is before you.

My groaning is not hidden from you.

10 My heart throbs.

My strength fails me.

As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.

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

My kinsmen stand far away.

12 They also who seek after my life lay snares.

Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things,

and meditate deceits all day long.

13 But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear.

I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.

14 Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear,

in whose mouth are no reproofs.

15 For I hope in you, Yahweh.

You will answer, Lord my God.

16 For I said, "Don’t let them gloat over me,

or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."

17 For I am ready to fall.

My pain is continually before me.

18 For I will declare my iniquity.

I will be sorry for my sin.

19 But my enemies are vigorous and many.

Those who hate me without reason are numerous.

20 They who render evil for good are also adversaries to me,

because I follow what is good.

21 Don’t forsake me, Yahweh.

My God, don’t be far from me.

22 Hurry to help me,

Lord, my salvation.

1 A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presses me sore.

3 [There is] no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin.

4 For my iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5 My wounds stink [and] are corrupt because of my foolishness.

6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome [disease], and [there is] no soundness in my flesh.

8 I am feeble and sore broken; I roar 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 pants, my strength fails me; as for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.

11 My friends and my companions stand aloof from my sore, and my kinsmen stand afar off.

12 Those that seek after my life lay snares [for me], and those that seek my hurt speak calamities and imagine deceits all the day long.

13 But I, as a deaf [man, that] heard not, and as a dumb man [that] did not open his mouth.

14 Thus I was as a man that does not hear, and in whose mouth [are] no reproofs.

15 For thee, O LORD, do I wait; thou wilt respond, O Lord my God.

16 For I said, Let them not rejoice over me; let them not magnify [themselves] against me when my foot slips.

17 For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is] continually before me.

18 Therefore I will declare my iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

19 For my enemies [are] alive, [and] they are strong, and those that hate me wrongfully are multiplied;

20 rendering evil for good they are against me because I follow [that which is] good.

21 Forsake me not, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me.

22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.:
