| 1A Psalm of David, for remembrance. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath. | 1LORD! Do not rebuke me in your anger; do not correct me in your wrath, |
| 2For Your arrows have pierced me deeply, and Your hand has pressed down on me. | 2because your arrows have sunk deep into me, and your hand has come down hard on me. |
| 3There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin. | 3My body is unhealthy due to your anger, and my bones have no rest due to my sin. |
| 4For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are a burden too heavy to bear. | 4My iniquities loom over my head; like a cumbersome burden, they are too heavy for me. |
| 5My wounds are foul and festering because of my sinful folly. | 5My wounds have putrefied and festered because of my foolishness. |
| 6I am bent and brought low; all day long I go about mourning. | 6I am bent over and walk about greatly bowed down; all day long I go around mourning. |
| 7For my loins are full of burning pain, and no soundness remains in my body. | 7My insides are burning and my body is unhealthy. |
| 8I am numb and badly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart. | 8I am weak and utterly crushed; I cry out in distress because of my heart's anguish. |
| 9O Lord, my every desire is before You; my groaning is not hidden from You. | 9Lord, all my longings are before you, and my groaning is not hidden from you. |
| 10My heart pounds, my strength fails, and even the light of my eyes has faded. | 10My heart pounds, my strength fails me, even the gleam in my eye is gone. |
| 11My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance. | 11As for my friends and my neighbors, they stand aloof from my distress; even my close relatives stand at a distance. |
| 12Those who seek my life lay snares; those who wish me harm speak destruction, plotting deceit all day long. | 12Those who seek my life lay snares for me; those who seek to do me harm brag all day long about their wicked planning. |
| 13But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth. | 13I am like the deaf, who cannot hear, and like the mute, who cannot open his mouth. |
| 14I am like a man who cannot hear, whose mouth offers no reply. | 14Indeed, I have become like a man who hears nothing, and in whose mouth there is no rebuke. |
| 15I wait for You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God. | 15Because I have placed my hope in you, LORD, you will answer, Lord, my God. |
| 16For I said, “Let them not gloat over me—those who taunt me when my foot slips.” | 16For I said, "Do not let them gloat over me, as they congratulate themselves when my foot slips." |
| 17For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me. | 17Indeed, I am being set up for a fall, and I am continuously reminded of my pain. |
| 18Yes, I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin. | 18I confess my iniquity, and my sin troubles me. |
| 19Many are my enemies without cause, and many hate me without reason. | 19But my enemies are alive and well; those who hate me for no reason are numerous. |
| 20Those who repay my good with evil attack me for pursuing the good. | 20They reward my good with evil, opposing me because I seek to do good. |
| 21Do not forsake me, O LORD; be not far from me, O my God. | 21Don't forsake me, LORD. My God, do not be so distant from me. |
| 22Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior. | 22Come quickly and help me, Lord, my deliverer. |
