1Unto the end, for Idithun himself, a canticle of David.
1A Psalm of David, `To cause to remember.' Jehovah, in Thy wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.
1 Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath; neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2I said: I will take heed to my ways: that I sin not with my tongue. I have set a guard to my mouth, when the sinner stood against me.
2For Thine arrows have come down on me, And Thou lettest down upon me Thy hand.
2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand cometh down upon me.
3I was dumb, and was humbled, and kept silence from good things: and my sorrow was renewed.
3Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Thine indignation, Peace is not in my bones because of my sin.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; no peace in my bones, because of my sin.
4My heart grew hot within me: and in my meditation a fire shall flame out.
4For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden--too heavy for me.
4 For mine iniquities are gone over my head: as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5I spoke with my tongue: O Lord, make me know my end. And what is the number of my days: that I may know what is wanting to me.
5Stunk--become corrupt have my wounds, Because of my folly.
5 My wounds stink, they are corrupt, because of my foolishness.
6Behold thou hast made my days measurable. and my substance is as nothing before thee. And indeed all things are vanity: every man living.
6I have been bent down, I have been bowed down--unto excess, All the day I have gone mourning.
6 I am depressed; I am bowed down beyond measure; I go mourning all the day.
7Surely man passeth as an image: yea, and he is disquieted in vain. He storeth up: and he knoweth not for whom he shall gather these things.
7For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh.
7 For my loins are full of burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8And now what is my hope? is it not the Lord? and my substance is with thee.
8I have been feeble and smitten--unto excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart.
8 I am faint and broken beyond measure; I roar by reason of the agitation of my heart.
9Deliver thou me from all my iniquities: thou hast made me a reproach to the fool.
9Lord, before Thee <FI>is<Fi> all my desire, And my sighing from Thee hath not been hid.
9 Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my sighing is not hid from thee.
10I was dumb, and I opened not my mouth, because thou hast done it.
10My heart <FI>is<Fi> panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me.
10 My heart throbbeth, my strength hath left me; and the light of mine eyes, it also is no more with me.
11Remove thy scourges from me. The strength of thy hand hath made me faint in rebukes:
11My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood.
11 My lovers and mine associates stand aloof from my stroke; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12Thou hast corrected man for iniquity. And thou hast made his soul to waste away like a spider: surely in vain is any man disquieted.
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.
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.
13Hear my prayer, O Lord, and my supplication: give ear to my tears. Be no silent: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner as all my fathers were.
13And I, as deaf, hear not. And as a dumb one who openeth not his mouth.
13 But I, as a deaf [man], hear not; and am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14O forgive me, that I may be refreshed, before I go hence, and be no more.
14Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs.
14 Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15(not in this translation)
15Because for Thee, O Jehovah, I have waited, Thou dost answer, O Lord my God.
15 For in thee, Jehovah, do I hope: thou wilt answer, O Lord myGod.
16(not in this translation)
16When I said, `Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves.
16 For I said, Let them not rejoice over me! When my foot slipped, they magnified [themselves] against me.
17(not in this translation)
17For I am ready to halt, And my pain <FI>is<Fi> before me continually.
17 For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.
18(not in this translation)
18For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin.
18 For I will declare mine iniquity, I am grieved for my sin.
19(not in this translation)
19And mine enemies <FI>are<Fi> lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.
19 But mine enemies are lively, they are strong; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied:
20(not in this translation)
20And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good.
20 And they that render evil for good are adversaries unto me; because I pursue what is good.
