Young's Literal Translation YLT
Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB
1 A Psalm of David, `To cause to remember.' Jehovah, in Thy wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.
1
Lord, do not punish me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.
2 For Thine arrows have come down on me, And Thou lettest down upon me Thy hand.
2
For Your arrows have sunk into me, and Your hand has pressed down on me.
3 Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Thine indignation, Peace is not in my bones because of my sin.
3
There is no soundness in my body because of Your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin.
4 For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden -- too heavy for me.
4
For my sins have flooded over my head; they are a burden too heavy for me to bear.
5 Stunk -- become corrupt have my wounds, Because of my folly.
5
My wounds are foul and festering because of my foolishness.
6 I have been bent down, I have been bowed down -- unto excess, All the day I have gone mourning.
6
I am bent over and brought low; all day long I go around in mourning.
7 For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh.
7
For my loins are full of burning pain, and there is no health in my body.
8 I have been feeble and smitten -- unto excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart.
8
I am faint and severely crushed; I groan because of the anguish of my heart.
9 Lord, before Thee [is] all my desire, And my sighing from Thee hath not been hid.
9
Lord, my every desire is known to You; my sighing is not hidden from You.
10 My heart [is] panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me.
10
My heart races, my strength leaves me, and even the light of my eyes has faded.
11 My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood.
11
My loved ones and friends stand back from my affliction, and my relatives stand at a distance.
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.
12
Those who seek my life set traps, and those who want to harm me threaten to destroy me; they plot treachery all day long.
13 And I, as deaf, hear not. And as a dumb one who openeth not his mouth.
13
I am like a deaf person; I do not hear. I am like a speechless person who does not open his mouth.
14 Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs.
14
I am like a man who does not hear and has no arguments in his mouth.
15 Because for Thee, O Jehovah, I have waited, Thou dost answer, O Lord my God.
15
I put my hope in You, Lord; You will answer, Lord my God.
16 When I said, `Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves.
16
For I said, "Don't let them rejoice over me- those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble."
17 For I am ready to halt, And my pain [is] before me continually.
17
For I am about to fall, and my pain is constantly with me.
18 For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin.
18
So I confess my guilt; I am anxious because of my sin.
19 And mine enemies [are] lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.
19
But my enemies are vigorous and powerful; many hate me for no reason.
20 And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good.
20
Those who repay evil for good attack me for pursuing good.
21 Do not forsake me, O Jehovah, My God, be not far from me,
21
Lord, do not abandon me; my God, do not be far from me.
22 Haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
22
Hurry to help me, Lord, my Savior.
