New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 O LORD, rebuke me not in Your wrath, And chasten me not in Your burning anger.
|
1 O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
|
|
2 For Your arrows have sunk deep into me, And Your hand has pressed down on me.
|
2 For your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down upon me.
|
|
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation ; There is no health in my bones because of my sin.
|
3 Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; my bones have no soundness because of my sin.
|
|
4 For my iniquities are gone over my head ; As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.
|
4 My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.
|
|
5 My wounds grow foul and fester Because of my folly.
|
5 My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly.
|
|
6 I am bent over and greatly bowed down ; I go mourning all day long.
|
6 I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.
|
|
7 For my loins are filled with burning, And there is no soundness in my flesh.
|
7 My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.
|
|
8 I am benumbed and badly crushed ; I groan because of the agitation of my heart.
|
8 I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.
|
|
9 Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You.
|
9 All my longings lie open before you, O Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.
|
|
10 My heart throbs, my strength fails me; And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.
|
10 My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes.
|
|
11 My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague ; And my kinsmen stand afar off.
|
11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away.
|
|
12 Those 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.
|
12 Those who seek my life set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they plot deception.
|
|
13 But I, like a deaf man, do not hear ; And I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth.
|
13 I am like a deaf man, who cannot hear, like a mute, who cannot open his mouth;
|
|
14 Yes, I am like a man who does not hear, And in whose mouth are no arguments.
|
14 I have become like a man who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.
|
|
15 For I hope in You, O LORD ; You will answer, O Lord my God.
|
15 I wait for you, O LORD; you will answer, O Lord my God.
|
|
16 For I said, "May they not rejoice over me, Who, when my foot slips, would magnify themselves against me."
|
16 For I said, "Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."
|
|
17 For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.
|
17 For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
|
|
18 For I confess my iniquity ; I am full of anxiety because of my sin.
|
18 I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.
|
|
19 But my enemies are vigorous and strong, And many are those who hate me wrongfully.
|
19 Many are those who are my vigorous enemies; those who hate me without reason are numerous.
|
|
20 And those who repay evil for good, They oppose me, because I follow what is good.
|
20 Those who repay my good with evil slander me when I pursue what is good.
|
|
21 Do not forsake me, O LORD ; O my God, do not be far from me!
|
21 O LORD, do not forsake me; be not far from me, O my God.
|
|
22 Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation !
|
22 Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.
