1 - Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

2 - For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on 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.

4 - For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

5 - My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.

6 - I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.

7 - For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.

8 - I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.

9 - Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.

10 - My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.

11 - My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand 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.

13 - But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear. I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.

14 - Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.

15 - For in you, Yahweh, do I hope. You will answer, Lord my God.

16 - For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”

17 - For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.

18 - For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.

19 - But my enemies are vigorous and many. 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.

21 - Don’t forsake me, Yahweh. My God, don’t be far from me.

22 - Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.
