King James New American Standard Bible
  • 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.
  • 1 O LORD, rebuke me not in Your wrath, And chasten me not in Your burning anger.
  • 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 My wounds 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 and badly crushed; I groan because of the agitation of my heart.
  • 9 Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You.
  • 10 My heart throbs, my strength fails me; And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.
  • 11 My loved 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 have threatened 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 I hope 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 my sorrow is continually before me.
  • 18 For I confess my iniquity; I am full of anxiety because of my sin.
  • 19 But my enemies are vigorous and strong, 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!
