| 1A Psalm of David, for a memorial. O LORD, rebuke me not in Your wrath, And chasten me not in Your burning anger. | 1O LORD, don’t rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage! |
| 2For Your arrows have sunk deep into me, And Your hand has pressed down on me. | 2Your arrows have struck deep, and your blows are crushing me. |
| 3There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation; There is no health in my bones because of my sin. | 3Because of your anger, my whole body is sick; my health is broken because of my sins. |
| 4For my iniquities are gone over my head; As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me. | 4My guilt overwhelms me— it is a burden too heavy to bear. |
| 5My wounds grow foul and fester Because of my folly. | 5My wounds fester and stink because of my foolish sins. |
| 6I am bent over and greatly bowed down; I go mourning all day long. | 6I am bent over and racked with pain. All day long I walk around filled with grief. |
| 7For my loins are filled with burning, And there is no soundness in my flesh. | 7A raging fever burns within me, and my health is broken. |
| 8I am benumbed and badly crushed; I groan because of the agitation of my heart. | 8I am exhausted and completely crushed. My groans come from an anguished heart. |
| 9Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You. | 9You know what I long for, Lord; you hear my every sigh. |
| 10My heart throbs, my strength fails me; And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me. | 10My heart beats wildly, my strength fails, and I am going blind. |
| 11My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off. | 11My loved ones and friends stay away, fearing my disease. Even my own family stands at a distance. |
| 12Those who seek my life lay snares for me; And those who seek to injure me have threatened destruction, And they devise treachery all day long. | 12Meanwhile, my enemies lay traps to kill me. Those who wish me harm make plans to ruin me. All day long they plan their treachery. |
| 13But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; And I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth. | 13But I am deaf to all their threats. I am silent before them as one who cannot speak. |
| 14Yes, I am like a man who does not hear, And in whose mouth are no arguments. | 14I choose to hear nothing, and I make no reply. |
| 15For I hope in You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God. | 15For I am waiting for you, O LORD. You must answer for me, O Lord my God. |
| 16For I said, "May they not rejoice over me, Who, when my foot slips, would magnify themselves against me." | 16I prayed, “Don’t let my enemies gloat over me or rejoice at my downfall.” |
| 17For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me. | 17I am on the verge of collapse, facing constant pain. |
| 18For I confess my iniquity; I am full of anxiety because of my sin. | 18But I confess my sins; I am deeply sorry for what I have done. |
| 19But my enemies are vigorous and strong, And many are those who hate me wrongfully. | 19I have many aggressive enemies; they hate me without reason. |
| 20And those who repay evil for good, They oppose me, because I follow what is good. | 20They repay me evil for good and oppose me for pursuing good. |
| 21Do not forsake me, O LORD; O my God, do not be far from me! | 21Do not abandon me, O LORD. Do not stand at a distance, my God. |
| 22Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation! | 22Come quickly to help me, O Lord my savior. |
