1 And chasten me not in Your burning anger. | |
2 O LORD, rebuke me not in Your wrath, | |
2 For Your arrows have sunk deep into me, And Your hand has pressed down on me. | |
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 iniquities are gone over my head; As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me. | |
5 Mya Or stripeswounds grow foul and fester Because of my folly. | |
6 I am bent over and greatly bowed down; I go mourning all day long. | |
7 For my loins are filled with burning, And there is no soundness in my flesh. | |
8 I am benumbed andb Or greatlybadly crushed; Ic Lit roargroan because of thed Lit growlingagitation of my heart. | |
9 Lord, all my desire ise Or known to Youbefore You; And my sighing is not hidden from You. | |
10 My heart throbs, my strength fails me; And the light of my eyes, evenf Lit they havethatg Lit is not with mehas gone from me. | |
11 Myh Or loversloved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off. | |
12 Those who seek my life lay snares for me; And those who seek to injure me havei Lit spokenthreatened destruction, And they devise treachery all day long. | |
13 But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; And I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth. | |
14 Yes, I am like a man who does not hear, And in whose mouth are no arguments. | |
15 For Ij Or wait forhope in 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.” | |
17 For I am ready to fall, And myk Lit painsorrow is continually before me. | |
18 For Il Or declareconfess my iniquity; I am full of anxiety because of my sin. | |
19 But my enemies are vigorous andm Or numerousstrong, And many are those who hate me wrongfully. | |
20 And those who repay evil for good, They oppose me, because I follow what is good. | |
21 Do not forsake me, O LORD; O my God, do not be far from me! | |
22 Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation! | |
