A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. (MT 38:2; LXX 37:1; LXX 37:2; Rahlfs 37:1; Rahlfs 37:2)
מִזְמ֖וֹר לְדָוִ֣ד לְהַזְכִּֽיר׃
2For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore. (MT 38:3; LXX 37:3; Rahlfs 37:3)
יְֽהוָ֗ה אַל־בְּקֶצְפְּךָ֥ תוֹכִיחֵ֑נִי וּֽבַחֲמָתְךָ֥ תְיַסְּרֵֽנִי׃
3There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. (MT 38:4; LXX 37:4; Rahlfs 37:4)
כִּֽי־חִ֭צֶּיךָ נִ֣חֲתוּ בִ֑י וַתִּנְחַ֖ת עָלַ֣י יָדֶֽךָ׃
4For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. (MT 38:5; LXX 37:5; Rahlfs 37:5)
אֵין־מְתֹ֣ם בִּ֭בְשָׂרִי מִפְּנֵ֣י זַעְמֶ֑ךָ אֵין־שָׁל֥וֹם בַּ֝עֲצָמַ֗י מִפְּנֵ֥י חַטָּאתִֽי׃
5My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. (MT 38:6; LXX 37:6; Rahlfs 37:6)
כִּ֣י עֲ֭וֺנֹתַי עָבְר֣וּ רֹאשִׁ֑י כְּמַשָּׂ֥א כָ֝בֵ֗ד יִכְבְּד֥וּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃
6I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. (MT 38:7; LXX 37:7; Rahlfs 37:7)
הִבְאִ֣ישׁוּ נָ֭מַקּוּ חַבּוּרֹתָ֑י מִ֝פְּנֵ֗י אִוַּלְתִּֽי׃
7For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh. (MT 38:8; LXX 37:8; Rahlfs 37:8)
נַעֲוֵ֣יתִי שַׁחֹ֣תִי עַד־מְאֹ֑ד כָּל־הַ֝יּ֗וֹם קֹדֵ֥ר הִלָּֽכְתִּי׃
8I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. (MT 38:9; LXX 37:9; Rahlfs 37:9)
כִּֽי־כְ֭סָלַי מָלְא֣וּ נִקְלֶ֑ה וְאֵ֥ין מְ֝תֹ֗ם בִּבְשָׂרִֽי׃
9Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. (MT 38:10; LXX 37:10; Rahlfs 37:10)
נְפוּג֣וֹתִי וְנִדְכֵּ֣יתִי עַד־מְאֹ֑ד שָׁ֝אַ֗גְתִּי מִֽנַּהֲמַ֥ת לִבִּֽי׃
10My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. (MT 38:11; LXX 37:11; Rahlfs 37:11)
אֲֽדֹנָי נֶגְדְּךָ֥ כָל־תַּאֲוָתִ֑י וְ֝אַנְחָתִ֗י מִמְּךָ֥ לֹא־נִסְתָּֽרָה׃
11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. (MT 38:12; LXX 37:12; Rahlfs 37:12)
לִבִּ֣י סְ֭חַרְחַר עֲזָבַ֣נִי כֹחִ֑י וְֽאוֹר־עֵינַ֥י גַּם־הֵ֝֗ם אֵ֣ין אִתִּֽי׃
12They 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. (MT 38:13; LXX 37:13; Rahlfs 37:13)
אֹֽהֲבַ֨י ׀ וְרֵעַ֗י מִנֶּ֣גֶד נִגְעִ֣י יַעֲמֹ֑דוּ וּ֝קְרוֹבַ֗י מֵרָחֹ֥ק עָמָֽדוּ׃
13But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. (MT 38:14; LXX 37:14; Rahlfs 37:14)
וַיְנַקְשׁ֤וּ ׀ מְבַקְשֵׁ֬י נַפְשִׁ֗י וְדֹרְשֵׁ֣י רָ֭עָתִי דִּבְּר֣וּ הַוּ֑וֹת וּ֝מִרְמ֗וֹת כָּל־הַיּ֥וֹם יֶהְגּֽוּ׃
14Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs. (MT 38:15; LXX 37:15; Rahlfs 37:15)
וַאֲנִ֣י כְ֭חֵרֵשׁ לֹ֣א אֶשְׁמָ֑ע וּ֝כְאִלֵּ֗ם לֹ֣א יִפְתַּח־פִּֽיו׃
15For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. (MT 38:16; LXX 37:16; Rahlfs 37:16)
וָאֱהִ֗י כְּ֭אִישׁ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹא־שֹׁמֵ֑עַ וְאֵ֥ין בְּ֝פִ֗יו תּוֹכָחֽוֹת׃
16For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. (MT 38:17; LXX 37:17; Rahlfs 37:17)
כִּֽי־לְךָ֣ יְהוָ֣ה הוֹחָ֑לְתִּי אַתָּ֥ה תַ֝עֲנֶ֗ה אֲדֹנָ֥י אֱלֹהָֽי׃
17For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me. (MT 38:18; LXX 37:18; Rahlfs 37:18)
כִּֽי־אָ֭מַרְתִּי פֶּן־יִשְׂמְחוּ־לִ֑י בְּמ֥וֹט רַ֝גְלִ֗י עָלַ֥י הִגְדִּֽילוּ׃
18For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. (MT 38:19; LXX 37:19; Rahlfs 37:19)
כִּֽי־אֲ֭נִי לְצֶ֣לַע נָכ֑וֹן וּמַכְאוֹבִ֖י נֶגְדִּ֣י תָמִֽיד׃
19But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. (MT 38:20; LXX 37:20; Rahlfs 37:20)
כִּֽי־עֲוֺנִ֥י אַגִּ֑יד אֶ֝דְאַ֗ג מֵֽחַטָּאתִֽי׃
20They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is. (MT 38:21; LXX 37:21; Rahlfs 37:21)
וְֽ֭אֹיְבַי חַיִּ֣ים עָצֵ֑מוּ וְרַבּ֖וּ שֹׂנְאַ֣י שָֽׁקֶר׃
21Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me. (MT 38:22; LXX 37:22; Rahlfs 37:22)
וּמְשַׁלְּמֵ֣י רָ֭עָה תַּ֣חַת טוֹבָ֑ה יִ֝שְׂטְנ֗וּנִי תַּ֣חַת רדופי־טֽוֹב׃
22Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation. (MT 38:23; LXX 37:23; Rahlfs 37:23)
אַל־תַּֽעַזְבֵ֥נִי יְהוָ֑ה אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י אַל־תִּרְחַ֥ק מִמֶּֽנִּי׃
