| Hebrew Names Version (HNV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 <> LORD, don't rebuke me in your wrath, Neither chasten me in your hot displeasure. | 1 O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath. |
| 2 For your arrows have pierced me, Your hand presses hard 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, Neither is there any 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 have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me. | 4 My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear. |
| 5 My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness. | 5 My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly. |
| 6 I am pained and bowed down greatly. 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. 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 faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart. | 8 I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart. |
| 9 Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning 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. As for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me. | 10 My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes. |
| 11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand afar off. | 11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away. |
| 12 They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, And meditate deceits 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, as a deaf man, don't hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't 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 as a man who doesn't hear, In whose mouth are no reproofs. | 14 I have become like a man who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply. |
| 15 For in you, LORD, do I hope. You will answer, Lord my God. | 15 I wait for you, O LORD; you will answer, O Lord my God. |
| 16 For I said, "Don't let them gloat over me, Or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips." | 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. My pain is continually before me. | 17 For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me. |
| 18 For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin. | 18 I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin. |
| 19 But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous. | 19 Many are those who are my vigorous enemies; those who hate me without reason are numerous. |
| 20 They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, Because I follow what is good. | 20 Those who repay my good with evil slander me when I pursue what is good. |
| 21 Don't forsake me, LORD. My God, don't be far from me. | 21 O LORD, do not forsake me; be not far from me, O my God. |
| 22 Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation. | 22 Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior. |
