1A Psalm of David, for the memorial offering. O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath! (1أخ 16:4; مز 6:1; مز 70:1)2For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has come down on me. (أي 6:4; مز 32:4)3There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin. (مز 31:10; إش 1:6)4For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me. (عز 9:6; مز 40:12)5My wounds stink and fester because of my foolishness,6I am utterly bowed down and prostrate; all the day I go about mourning. (أي 30:28; مز 35:14; مز 42:5; مز 42:11; مز 43:5; إش 21:3)7For my sides are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh. (مز 38:3)8I am feeble and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart. (مز 22:1)9O Lord, all my longing is before you; my sighing is not hidden from you. (مز 6:6)10My heart throbs; my strength fails me, and the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me. (مز 6:7)11My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague, and my nearest kin stand far off. (أي 19:13; مز 39:10; مز 88:18; إش 53:4; إش 53:8; مت 27:55; مر 15:40; لو 10:31; لو 23:49)12Those who seek my life lay their snares; those who seek my hurt speak of ruin and meditate treachery all day long. (2صم 16:7; 2صم 17:1; مز 35:20; مت 22:15; مر 12:13; لو 20:20)13But I am like a deaf man; I do not hear, like a mute man who does not open his mouth. (مز 39:2; مز 39:9; إش 53:7; 1بط 2:23)14I have become like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth are no rebukes. (أي 23:4)15But for you, O Lord, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer. (2صم 16:12; مز 39:7)16For I said, “Only let them not rejoice over me, who boast against me when my foot slips!” (أي 19:5; مز 13:4; مز 94:18)17For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever before me. (مز 35:15; إر 20:10)18I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin. (مز 32:5; 2كو 7:9)19But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty, and many are those who hate me wrongfully. (مز 35:19)20Those who render me evil for good accuse me because I follow after good. (مز 35:12; مز 109:4; 3يو 1:11)21Do not forsake me, O Lord! O my God, be not far from me! (مز 10:1)22Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation! (مز 27:1; مز 40:13)
