Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX
New Revised Standard w/ Apocrypha NRSA
1 O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath, neither chasten me in thine anger.
1
O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger, or discipline me in your wrath.
2 For thy weapons are fixed in me, and thou hast pressed thy hand heavily upon me.
2
For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has come down on me.
3 For there is no health in my flesh because of thine anger; there is no peace to my bones because of my sins.
3
There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin.
4 For my transgressions have gone over mine head: they have pressed heavily upon me like a weighty burden.
4
For my iniquities have gone over my head; they weigh like a burden too heavy for me.
5 My bruises have become noisome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.
5
My wounds grow foul and fester because of my foolishness;
6 I have been wretched and bowed down continually: I went with a mourning countenance all the day.
6
I am utterly bowed down and prostrate; all day long I go around mourning.
7 For my soul is filled with mockings; and there is no health in my flesh.
7
For my loins are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 I have been afflicted and brought down exceedingly: I have roared for the groaning of my heart.
8
I am utterly spent and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart.
9 But all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hidden from thee.
9
O Lord, all my longing is known to you; my sighing is not hidden from you.
10 My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me; and the light of mine eyes is not with me.
10
My heart throbs, my strength fails me; as for the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me.
11 My friends and my neighbours drew near before me, and stood still; and my nearest of kin stood afar off.
11
My friends and companions stand aloof from my affliction, and my neighbors stand far off.
12 While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul: and they that sought my hurt spoke vanities, and devised deceits all the day.
12
Those who seek my life lay their snares; those who seek to hurt me speak of ruin, and meditate treachery all day long.
13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and was as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
13
But I am like the deaf, I do not hear; like the mute, who cannot speak.
14 And I was as a man that hears not, and who has no reproofs in his mouth.
14
Truly, I am like one who does not hear, and in whose mouth is no retort.
15 For I hoped in thee, O Lord: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
15
But it is for you, O Lord, that I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.
16 For I said, Lest mine enemies rejoice against me: for when my feet were moved, they spoke boastingly against me.
16
For I pray, "Only do not let them rejoice over me, those who boast against me when my foot slips."
17 For I am ready for plagues, and my grief is continually before me.
17
For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
18 For I will declare mine iniquity, and be distressed for my sin.
18
I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin.
19 But mine enemies live, and are mightier than I: and they that hate me unjustly are multiplied.
19
Those who are my foes without cause are mighty, and many are those who hate me wrongfully.
20 They that reward evil for good slandered me; because I followed righteousness.
20
Those who render me evil for good are my adversaries because I follow after good.
21 Forsake me not, O Lord my God: depart not from me.
21
Do not forsake me, O Lord; O my God, do not be far from me;
22 Draw nigh to my help, O Lord of my salvation.
22
make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation.
