Verse BSB Berean Standard Bible YLT Young's Literal Translation
A Psalm of David, for remembrance . O LORD , do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath .
A Psalm of David, `To cause to remember . ' Jehovah , in Thy wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me .
For Your arrows have pierced me deeply , and Your hand has pressed down on me.
For Thine arrows have come down on me, And Thou lettest down upon me Thy hand .
There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.
Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Thine indignation, Peace is not in my bones because of my sin.
For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are a burden too heavy to bear .
For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden -- too heavy for me .
My wounds are foul and festering because of my sinful folly.
Stunk -- become corrupt have my wounds , Because of my folly.
I am bent and brought low; all day long I go about mourning.
I have been bent down, I have been bowed down -- unto excess, All the day I have gone mourning.
For my loins are full of burning pain , and no soundness remains in my body .
For my flanks have been full of drought , And soundness is not in my flesh .
I am numb and badly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.
I have been feeble and smitten -- unto excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart.
O Lord, my every desire is before You; my groaning is not hidden from You .
Lord, before Thee `is' all my desire , And my sighing from Thee hath not been hid .
My heart pounds , my strength fails , and even the light of my eyes has faded .
My heart `is' panting , my power hath forsaken me , And the light of mine eyes , Even they are not with me .
My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance .
My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood .
Those who seek my life lay snares; those who wish me harm speak destruction , plotting deceit all day long .
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.
But like a deaf man , I do not hear ; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth.
And I, as deaf, hear not. And as a dumb one who openeth not his mouth.
I am like a man who cannot hear , whose mouth offers no reply .
Yea, I am as a man who heareth not , And in his mouth are no reproofs .
I wait for You , O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God.
Because for Thee , O Jehovah, I have waited, Thou dost answer, O Lord my God.
For I said, “Let them not gloat over me those who taunt me when my foot slips .
When I said, `Lest they rejoice over me , In the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves .
For I am ready to fall , and my pain is ever with me.
For I am ready to halt , And my pain ` is ' before me continually .
Yes, I confess my iniquity ; I am troubled by my sin.
For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin.
Many are my enemies without cause , and many hate me without reason .
And mine enemies `are' lively , They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied .
Those who repay my good with evil attack me for pursuing the good.
And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good.
Do not forsake me, O LORD; be not far from me, O my God.
Do not forsake me, O Jehovah, My God, be not far from me,
Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.
Haste to help me, O Lord , my salvation!
