New International Version NIV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
1
A Psalm of David, `To cause to remember.' Jehovah, in Thy wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.
2 Your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down on me.
2
For Thine arrows have come down on me, And Thou lettest down upon me Thy hand.
3 Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin.
3
Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Thine indignation, Peace is not in my bones because of my sin.
4 My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.
4
For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden -- too heavy for me.
5 My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly.
5
Stunk -- become corrupt have my wounds, Because of my folly.
6 I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.
6
I have been bent down, I have been bowed down -- unto excess, All the day I have gone mourning.
7 My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.
7
For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh.
8 I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.
8
I have been feeble and smitten -- unto excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart.
9 All my longings lie open before you, Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.
9
Lord, before Thee [is] all my desire, And my sighing from Thee hath not been hid.
10 My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes.
10
My heart [is] panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me.
11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away.
11
My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood.
12 Those who want to kill me set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they scheme and lie.
12
And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they do deceits meditate all the day.
13 I am like the deaf, who cannot hear, like the mute, who cannot speak;
13
And I, as deaf, hear not. And as a dumb one who openeth not his mouth.
14 I have become like one who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.
14
Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs.
15 LORD, I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God.
15
Because for Thee, O Jehovah, I have waited, Thou dost answer, O Lord my God.
16 For I said, “Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”
16
When I said, `Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves.
17 For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
17
For I am ready to halt, And my pain [is] before me continually.
18 I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.
18
For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin.
19 Many have become my enemies without cause ; those who hate me without reason are numerous.
19
And mine enemies [are] lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.
20 Those who repay my good with evil lodge accusations against me, though I seek only to do what is good.
20
And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good.
21 LORD, do not forsake me; do not be far from me, my God.
21
Do not forsake me, O Jehovah, My God, be not far from me,
22 Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Savior.
22
Haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
