1 Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath; neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
1A Psalm of David, `To cause to remember.' Jehovah, in Thy wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.
2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand cometh down upon me.
2For Thine arrows have come down on me, And Thou lettest down upon me Thy hand.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; no peace in my bones, because of my sin.
3Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Thine indignation, Peace is not 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.
4For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden--too heavy for me.
5 My wounds stink, they are corrupt, because of my foolishness.
5Stunk--become corrupt have my wounds, Because of my folly.
6 I am depressed; I am bowed down beyond measure; I go mourning all the day.
6I have been bent down, I have been bowed down--unto excess, All the day I have gone mourning.
7 For my loins are full of burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
7For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh.
8 I am faint and broken beyond measure; I roar by reason of the agitation of my heart.
8I have been feeble and smitten--unto excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart.
9 Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my sighing is not hid from thee.
9Lord, before Thee <FI>is<Fi> all my desire, And my sighing from Thee hath not been hid.
10 My heart throbbeth, my strength hath left me; and the light of mine eyes, it also is no more with me.
10My heart <FI>is<Fi> panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me.
11 My lovers and mine associates stand aloof from my stroke; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
11My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood.
12 And they 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.
12And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they do deceits meditate all the day.
13 But I, as a deaf [man], hear not; and am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
13And I, as deaf, hear not. And as a dumb one who openeth not his mouth.
14 Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
14Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs.
15 For in thee, Jehovah, do I hope: thou wilt answer, O Lord myGod.
15Because for Thee, O Jehovah, I have waited, Thou dost answer, O Lord my God.
16 For I said, Let them not rejoice over me! When my foot slipped, they magnified [themselves] against me.
16When I said, `Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves.
17 For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.
17For I am ready to halt, And my pain <FI>is<Fi> before me continually.
18 For I will declare mine iniquity, I am grieved for my sin.
18For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin.
19 But mine enemies are lively, they are strong; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied:
19And mine enemies <FI>are<Fi> lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.
20 And they that render evil for good are adversaries unto me; because I pursue what is good.
20And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good.
