1 A Psalm of David, `To cause to remember.' Jehovah, in Thy wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.

1 מִזְמֹ֖ור לְדָוִ֣ד לְהַזְכִּֽיר׃

2 For Thine arrows have come down on me, And Thou lettest down upon me Thy hand.

2 יְֽהוָ֗ה אַל־בְּקֶצְפְּךָ֥ תֹוכִיחֵ֑נִי וּֽבַחֲמָתְךָ֥ תְיַסְּרֵֽנִי׃

3 Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Thine indignation, Peace is not in my bones because of my sin.

3 כִּֽי־חִ֭צֶּיךָ נִ֣חֲתוּ בִ֑י וַתִּנְחַ֖ת עָלַ֣י יָדֶֽךָ׃

4 For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden -- too heavy for me.

4 אֵין־מְתֹ֣ם בִּ֭בְשָׂרִי מִפְּנֵ֣י זַעְמֶ֑ךָ אֵין־שָׁלֹ֥ום בַּ֝עֲצָמַ֗י מִפְּנֵ֥י חַטָּאתִֽי׃

5 Stunk -- become corrupt have my wounds, Because of my folly.

5 כִּ֣י עֲ֭וֹנֹתַי עָבְר֣וּ רֹאשִׁ֑י כְּמַשָּׂ֥א כָ֝בֵ֗ד יִכְבְּד֥וּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃

6 I have been bent down, I have been bowed down -- unto excess, All the day I have gone mourning.

6 הִבְאִ֣ישׁוּ נָ֭מַקּוּ חַבּוּרֹתָ֑י מִ֝פְּנֵ֗י אִוַּלְתִּֽי׃

7 For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh.

7 נַעֲוֵ֣יתִי שַׁחֹ֣תִי עַד־מְאֹ֑ד כָּל־הַ֝יֹּ֗ום קֹדֵ֥ר הִלָּֽכְתִּי׃

8 I have been feeble and smitten -- unto excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart.

8 כִּֽי־כְ֭סָלַי מָלְא֣וּ נִקְלֶ֑ה וְאֵ֥ין מְ֝תֹ֗ם בִּבְשָׂרִֽי׃

9 Lord, before Thee `is' all my desire, And my sighing from Thee hath not been hid.

9 נְפוּגֹ֣ותִי וְנִדְכֵּ֣יתִי עַד־מְאֹ֑ד אַ֗גְתִּי מִֽנַּהֲמַ֥ת לִבִּֽי׃

10 My heart `is' panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me.

10 אֲ‍ֽדֹנָי נֶגְדְּךָ֥ כָל־תַּאֲוָתִ֑י וְ֝אַנְחָתִ֗י מִמְּךָ֥ לֹא־נִסְתָּֽרָה׃

11 My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood.

11 לִבִּ֣י סְ֭חַרְחַר עֲזָבַ֣נִי כֹחִ֑י וְֽאֹור־עֵינַ֥י גַּם־הֵ֝֗ם אֵ֣ין אִתִּֽי׃

12 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.

12 אֹֽהֲבַ֨י׀ וְרֵעַ֗י מִנֶּ֣גֶד נִגְעִ֣י יַעֲמֹ֑דוּ וּ֝קְרֹובַ֗י מֵרָחֹ֥ק עָמָֽדוּ׃

13 And I, as deaf, hear not. And as a dumb one who openeth not his mouth.

13 וַיְנַקְשׁ֤וּ׀ מְבַקְשֵׁ֬י נַפְשִׁ֗י וְדֹרְשֵׁ֣י רָ֭עָתִי דִּבְּר֣וּ הַוֹּ֑ות וּ֝מִרְמֹ֗ות כָּל־הַיֹּ֥ום יֶהְגּֽוּ׃

14 Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs.

14 וַאֲנִ֣י כְ֭חֵרֵשׁ לֹ֣א אֶשְׁמָ֑ע וּ֝כְאִלֵּ֗ם לֹ֣א יִפְתַּח־פִּֽיו׃

15 Because for Thee, O Jehovah, I have waited, Thou dost answer, O Lord my God.

15 וָאֱהִ֗י כְּ֭אִישׁ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹא־שֹׁמֵ֑עַ וְאֵ֥ין בְּ֝פִ֗יו תֹּוכָחֹֽות׃

16 When I said, `Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves.

16 כִּֽי־לְךָ֣ יְהוָ֣ה הֹוחָ֑לְתִּי אַתָּ֥ה תַ֝עֲנֶ֗ה אֲדֹנָ֥י אֱלֹהָֽי׃

17 For I am ready to halt, And my pain `is' before me continually.

17 כִּֽי־אָ֭מַרְתִּי פֶּן־יִשְׂמְחוּ־לִ֑י בְּמֹ֥וט רַ֝גְלִ֗י עָלַ֥י הִגְדִּֽילוּ׃

18 For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin.

18 כִּֽי־אֲ֭נִי לְצֶ֣לַע נָכֹ֑ון וּמַכְאֹובִ֖י נֶגְדִּ֣י תָמִֽיד׃

19 And mine enemies `are' lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.

19 כִּֽי־עֲוֹנִ֥י אַגִּ֑יד אֶ֝דְאַ֗ג מֵֽחַטָּאתִֽי׃

20 And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good.

20 וְֽ֭אֹיְבַי חַיִּ֣ים עָצֵ֑מוּ וְרַבּ֖וּ שֹׂנְאַ֣י שָֽׁקֶר׃

21 Do not forsake me, O Jehovah, My God, be not far from me,

21 וּמְשַׁלְּמֵ֣י רָ֭עָה תַּ֣חַת טֹובָ֑ה יִ֝שְׂטְנ֗וּנִי תַּ֣חַת רְדֹופִי־ רָֽדְפִי־טֹֽוב׃

22 Haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!

22 אַל־תַּֽעַזְבֵ֥נִי יְהוָ֑ה אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י אַל־תִּרְחַ֥ק מִמֶּֽנִּי׃
