O Lord, Don't Rebuke Me in Your Wrath

{A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.} Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath; neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

1

O LORD, rebuke me not in Your wrath,
And chasten me not in Your burning anger.

2

For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand cometh down upon me.

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 thine indignation; no peace in my bones, because of my sin.

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 mine iniquities are gone over my head: as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

4

For my iniquities are gone over my head;
As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.

5

My wounds stink, they are corrupt, because of my foolishness.

5

My wounds grow foul and fester
Because of my folly.

6

I am depressed; I am bowed down beyond measure; I go mourning all the day.

6

I am bent over and greatly bowed down;
I go mourning all day long.

7

For my loins are full of burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.

7

For my loins are filled with burning,
And there is no soundness in my flesh.

8

I am faint and broken beyond measure; I roar by reason of the agitation of my heart.

8

I am benumbed and badly crushed;
I groan because of the agitation of my heart.

9

Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my sighing is not hid from thee.

9

Lord, all my desire is before You;
And my sighing is not hidden from You.

10

My heart throbbeth, my strength hath left me; and the light of mine eyes, it also is no more with me.

10

My heart throbs, my strength fails me;
And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.

11

My lovers and mine associates stand aloof from my stroke; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

11

My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague;
And my kinsmen stand afar off.

12

And they that seek after my life lay snares [for me]; and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all the day long.

12

Those who seek my life lay snares for me;
And those who seek to injure me have threatened destruction,
And they devise treachery all day long.

13

But I, as a deaf [man], hear not; and am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

13

But I, like a deaf man, do not hear;
And I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth.

14

Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

14

Yes, I am like a man who does not hear,
And in whose mouth are no arguments.

15

For in thee, Jehovah, do I hope: *thou* wilt answer, O Lord my God.

15

For I hope in You, O LORD;
You will answer, O Lord my God.

16

For I said, Let them not rejoice over me! When my foot slipped, they magnified [themselves] against me.

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 halt, and my pain is continually before me.

17

For I am ready to fall,
And my sorrow is continually before me.

18

For I will declare mine iniquity, I am grieved for my sin.

18

For I confess my iniquity;
I am full of anxiety because of my sin.

19

But mine enemies are lively, they are strong; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied:

19

But my enemies are vigorous and strong,
And many are those who hate me wrongfully.

20

And they that render evil for good are adversaries unto me; because I pursue what is good.

20

And those who repay evil for good,
They oppose me, because I follow what is good.

21

Forsake me not, Jehovah; O my God, be not far from me.

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.

22

Make haste to help me,
O Lord, my salvation!
