Text

1	A PSALM OF DAVID, FOR THE MEMORIAL OFFERING. O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath!
2	For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has come 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 have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
5	My wounds stink and fester because of my foolishness,
6	I am utterly bowed down and prostrate; all the day I go about mourning.
7	For my sides are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8	I am feeble and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart.
9	O Lord, all my longing is before you; my sighing is not hidden from you.
10	My heart throbs; my strength fails me, and the light of my eyes- it also has gone from me.
11	My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague, and my nearest kin stand far off.
12	Those who seek my life lay their snares; those who seek my hurt speak of ruin and meditate treachery all day long.
13	But I am like a deaf man; I do not hear, like a mute man who does not open his mouth.
14	I have become like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth are no rebukes.
15	But for you, O LORD, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.
16	For I said, “Only let them not rejoice over me, who boast against me when my foot slips!”
17	For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever before me.
18	I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin.
19	But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty, and many are those who hate me wrongfully.
20	Those who render me evil for good accuse me because I follow after good.
21	Do not forsake me, O LORD! O my God, be not far from me!
22	Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!

KJV

1	O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2	For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
3	There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
4	For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5	My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
6	I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
7	For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8	I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
9	Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
10	My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11	My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12	They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
13	But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14	Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15	For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
16	For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
17	For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
18	For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
19	But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20	They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.
21	Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
22	Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

7	My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.
8	I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.
9	All my longings lie open before you, O Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.
10	My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes.
11	My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away.
12	Those who seek my life set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they plot deception.
13	I am like a deaf man, who cannot hear, like a mute, who cannot open his mouth;
14	I have become like a man who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.
15	I wait for you, O LORD; you will answer, O Lord my God.
16	For I said, “Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”
17	For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
18	I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.
19	Many are those who are my vigorous enemies; those who hate me without reason are numerous.
20	Those who repay my good with evil slander me when I pursue what is good.
21	O LORD, do not forsake me; be not far from me, O my God.
22	Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.
23

1	O LORD, don't rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage!
2	Your arrows have struck deep, and your blows are crushing me.
3	Because of your anger, my whole body is sick; my health is broken because of my sins.
4	My guilt overwhelms me– it is a burden too heavy to bear.
5	My wounds fester and stink because of my foolish sins.
6	I am bent over and racked with pain. All day long I walk around filled with grief.
7	A raging fever burns within me, and my health is broken.
8	I am exhausted and completely crushed. My groans come from an anguished heart.
9	You know what I long for, Lord; you hear my every sigh.
10	My heart beats wildly, my strength fails, and I am going blind.
11	My loved ones and friends stay away, fearing my disease. Even my own family stands at a distance.
12	Meanwhile, my enemies lay traps to kill me. Those who wish me harm make plans to ruin me. All day long they plan their treachery.
13	But I am deaf to all their threats. I am silent before them as one who cannot speak.
14	I choose to hear nothing, and I make no reply.
15	For I am waiting for you, O LORD. You must answer for me, O Lord my God.
16	I prayed, “Don't let my enemies gloat over me or rejoice at my downfall.”
17	I am on the verge of collapse, facing constant pain.
18	But I confess my sins; I am deeply sorry for what I have done.
19	I have many aggressive enemies; they hate me without reason.
20	They repay me evil for good and oppose me for pursuing good.
21	Do not abandon me, O LORD. Do not stand at a distance, my God.
22	Come quickly to help me, O Lord my savior. For Jeduthun, the choir director: A psalm of David.
