MLV(i)
1 O Jehovah, rebuke me not in your wrath, nor discipline me in your hot displeasure.
2 Because your arrows stick fast in me and your hand presses me severely.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, nor is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
4 Because my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 5 My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.
6 I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all the day long. 7 Because my loins are filled with burning and there is no soundness in my flesh. 8 I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned because of the roaring of my heart.
9 Lord, all my desire is before you and my groaning is not hid from you. 10 My heart throbs, my strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it also has gone from me.
11 Those I love and my friends stand apart from my plague and my kinsmen stand afar off. 12 Those also who seek after my life lay snares for me. And those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things and meditate deceits all the day long.
13 But I do not hear like a deaf man. And I am as a mute man who does not open his mouth. 14 Yes, I am as a man who hears not and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 Because I hope in you, O Jehovah. You will answer, O Lord my God.
16 Because I said, Lest they rejoice over me. When my foot slips, they magnify themselves against me. 17 Because I am ready to fall and my sorrow is continually before me. 18 Because I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.
19 But my enemies are lively and are strong and those who hate me wrongfully are multiplied. 20 They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, because I follow the good thing.
21 Do not forsake, O Jehovah. O my God, do not be far from me. 22 Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation.
