1	מִזְמ֖וֹר לְדָוִ֣ד לְהַזְכִּֽיר׃ יְֽהוָ֗ה אַל־ בְּקֶצְפְּךָ֥ תוֹכִיחֵ֑נִי וּֽבַחֲמָתְךָ֥ תְיַסְּרֵֽנִי׃	O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath!	A psalm of David. A petition. LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
2	כִּֽי־ חִ֭צֶּיךָ נִ֣חֲתוּ בִ֑י וַתִּנְחַ֖ת עָלַ֣י יָדֶֽךָ׃	For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has come down on me.	Your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down on me.
3	אֵין־ מְתֹ֣ם בִּ֭בְשָׂרִי מִפְּנֵ֣י זַעְמֶ֑ךָ אֵין־ שָׁל֥וֹם בַּ֝עֲצָמַ֗י מִפְּנֵ֥י חַטָּאתִֽי׃	There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin.	Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin.
4	כִּ֣י עֲ֭וֺנֹתַי עָבְר֣וּ רֹאשִׁ֑י כְּמַשָּׂ֥א כָ֝בֵ֗ד יִכְבְּד֥וּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃	For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.	My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.
5	הִבְאִ֣ישׁוּ נָ֭מַקּוּ חַבּוּרֹתָ֑י מִ֝פְּנֵ֗י אִוַּלְתִּֽי׃	My wounds stink and fester because of my foolishness,	My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly.
6	נַעֲוֵ֣יתִי שַׁחֹ֣תִי עַד־ מְאֹ֑ד כָּל־ הַ֝יּ֗וֹם קֹדֵ֥ר הִלָּֽכְתִּי׃	I am utterly bowed down and prostrate; all the day I go about mourning.	I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.
7	כִּֽי־ כְ֭סָלַי מָלְא֣וּ נִקְלֶ֑ה וְאֵ֥ין מְ֝תֹ֗ם בִּבְשָׂרִֽי׃	For my sides are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.	My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.
8	נְפוּג֣וֹתִי וְנִדְכֵּ֣יתִי עַד־ מְאֹ֑ד שָׁ֝אַ֗גְתִּי מִֽנַּהֲמַ֥ת לִבִּֽי׃	I am feeble and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart.	I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.
9	אֲ‍ֽדֹנָי נֶגְדְּךָ֥ כָל־ תַּאֲוָתִ֑י וְ֝אַנְחָתִ֗י מִמְּךָ֥ לֹא־ נִסְתָּֽרָה׃	O Lord, all my longing is before you; my sighing is not hidden from you.	All my longings lie open before you, Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.
10	לִבִּ֣י סְ֭חַרְחַר עֲזָבַ֣נִי כֹחִ֑י וְֽאוֹר־ עֵינַ֥י גַּם־ הֵ֝֗ם אֵ֣ין אִתִּֽי׃	My heart throbs; my strength fails me, and the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me.	My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes.
11	אֹֽהֲבַ֨י ׀ וְרֵעַ֗י מִנֶּ֣גֶד נִגְעִ֣י יַעֲמֹ֑דוּ וּ֝קְרוֹבַ֗י מֵרָחֹ֥ק עָמָֽדוּ׃	My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague, and my nearest kin stand far off.	My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away.
12	וַיְנַקְשׁ֤וּ ׀ מְבַקְשֵׁ֬י נַפְשִׁ֗י וְדֹרְשֵׁ֣י רָ֭עָתִי דִּבְּר֣וּ הַוּ֑וֹת וּ֝מִרְמ֗וֹת כָּל־ הַיּ֥וֹם יֶהְגּֽוּ׃	Those who seek my life lay their snares; those who seek my hurt speak of ruin and meditate treachery all day long.	Those who want to kill me set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they scheme and lie.
13	וַאֲנִ֣י כְ֭חֵרֵשׁ לֹ֣א אֶשְׁמָ֑ע וּ֝כְאִלֵּ֗ם לֹ֣א יִפְתַּח־ פִּֽיו׃	But I am like a deaf man; I do not hear, like a mute man who does not open his mouth.	I am like the deaf, who cannot hear, like the mute, who cannot speak;
14	וָאֱהִ֗י כְּ֭אִישׁ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹא־ שֹׁמֵ֑עַ וְאֵ֥ין בְּ֝פִ֗יו תּוֹכָחֽוֹת׃	I have become like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth are no rebukes.	I have become like one who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.
15	כִּֽי־ לְךָ֣ יְהוָ֣ה הוֹחָ֑לְתִּי אַתָּ֥ה תַ֝עֲנֶ֗ה אֲדֹנָ֥י אֱלֹהָֽי׃	But for you, O LORD, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.	LORD, I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God.
16	כִּֽי־ אָ֭מַרְתִּי פֶּן־ יִשְׂמְחוּ־ לִ֑י בְּמ֥וֹט רַ֝גְלִ֗י עָלַ֥י הִגְדִּֽילוּ׃	For I said, “Only let them not rejoice over me, who boast against me when my foot slips!”	For I said, “Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”
17	כִּֽי־ אֲ֭נִי לְצֶ֣לַע נָכ֑וֹן וּמַכְאוֹבִ֖י נֶגְדִּ֣י תָמִֽיד׃	For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever before me.	For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
18	כִּֽי־ עֲוֺנִ֥י אַגִּ֑יד אֶ֝דְאַ֗ג מֵֽחַטָּאתִֽי׃	I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin.	I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.
19	וְֽ֭אֹיְבַי חַיִּ֣ים עָצֵ֑מוּ וְרַבּ֖וּ שֹׂנְאַ֣י שָֽׁקֶר׃	But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty, and many are those who hate me wrongfully.	Many have become my enemies without cause; those who hate me without reason are numerous.
20	וּמְשַׁלְּמֵ֣י רָ֭עָה תַּ֣חַת טוֹבָ֑ה יִ֝שְׂטְנ֗וּנִי תַּ֣חַת רדופי־ [רָֽדְפִי־] (טֽוֹב׃)	Those who render me evil for good accuse me because I follow after good.	Those who repay my good with evil lodge accusations against me, though I seek only to do what is good.
21	אַל־ תַּֽעַזְבֵ֥נִי יְהוָ֑ה אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י אַל־ תִּרְחַ֥ק מִמֶּֽנִּי׃	Do not forsake me, O LORD! O my God, be not far from me!	LORD, do not forsake me; do not be far from me, my God.
22	ח֥וּשָׁה לְעֶזְרָתִ֑י אֲ֝דֹנָ֗י תְּשׁוּעָתִֽי׃	Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!	Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Savior.
