1 Oh Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your wrath; neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

1 Oh Lord, don’t rebuke me in your wrath or discipline me in your anger,	1 Oh Lord, don’t rebuke me in your wrath or discipline me in your anger,

2 For your arrows stick fast in me, and your hand presses me sore.

2 because your arrows were stuck in me and you clamped your hand on me.	2 because your arrows were stuck in me and you clamped your hand on me.

3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

3 Οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις ἐν τῇ σαρκί μου ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς ὀργῆς σου, οὐκ ἔστιν εἰρήνη τοῖς ὀστέοις μου ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου.	3 οὐκ ἐστιν ἴασις ἐν τῇ σαρκί μου ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς ὀργῆς σου, οὐκ ἐστιν εἰρήνη ἐν τοῖς ὀστέοις μου ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου.
3 There is no health in my flesh from before your anger; there is no peace for my bones from before my sins,	3 There is no health in my flesh from before your anger; there is no peace for my bones from before my sins,

4 For my iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

4 ὅτι αἱ ἀνομίαι μου ὑπερῆραν τὴν κεφαλήν μου, ὡσεὶ φορτίον βαρὺ ἐβαρύνθησαν ἐπ’ ἐμέ.	4 ὅτι αἱ ἀνομίαι μου ὑπερῇραν τὴν κεφαλήν μου, ὡσεὶ φορτίον βαρὺ ἐβαρύνθησαν ἐπ’ ἐμέ.

5 My wounds stank and festered from before my foolishness;	5 My wounds stank and festered from before my foolishness;

6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

6 ἐταλαιπώρησα καὶ κατεκάμφθην ἕως τέλους, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν σκυθρωπάζων ἐπορευόμην.	6 ἐταλαιπώρησα καὶ κατεκάμφθην ἕως τέλους, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν σκυθρωπάζων ἐπορευόμην.
6 I was miserable and weighed down completely; all day long I was walking while looking sullen,	6 I was miserable and weighed down completely; all day long I was walking while looking sullen,

7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease; and there is no soundness in my flesh.

7 ὅτι ἡ ψυχή μου ἐπλήσθη ἐμπαιγμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις ἐν τῇ σαρκί μου.	7 ὅτι αἱ ψόαι μου ἐπλήσθησαν ἐμπαιγμάτων, καὶ οὐκ ἐστιν ἴασις ἐν τῇ σαρκί μου·
7 because my soul was filled with derision and there is no healing in my flesh.	7 because my loins were filled with mockery and there is no healing in my flesh.

8 I am feeble and sore broken; I have roared by reason of the unrest of my heart.

8 ἐκακώθην καὶ ἐταπεινώθην ἕως σφόδρα, ὠρυόμην ἀπὸ στεναγμοῦ τῆς καρδίας μου.	8 ἐκακώθην καὶ ἐταπεινώθην ἕως σφόδρα, ὠρυόμην ἀπὸ στεναγμοῦ τῆς καρδίας μου.

9 Oh Lord, all my desire is before you, and my groaning was not hidden from you.	9 Oh Lord, all my desire is before you, and my groaning was not hidden from you.

10 My heart pants, my strength fails me; as for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.

10 ἡ καρδία μου ἐταράχθη, ἐγκατέλιπέν με ἡ ἰσχύς μου, καὶ τὸ φῶς τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου καὶ αὐτὸ οὐκ ἔστιν μετ’ ἐμοῦ.	10 ἡ καρδία μου ἐταράχθη, ἐγκατέλιπέ με ἡ ἰσχύς μου, καὶ τὸ φῶς τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου, καὶ αὐτὸ οὐκ ἔστι μετ’ ἐμοῦ.

11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

11 οἱ φίλοι μου καὶ οἱ πλησίον μου ἐξ ἐναντίας μου ἤγγισαν καὶ ἔστησαν, καὶ οἱ ἔγγιστά μου ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἔστησαν,	11 οἱ φίλοι μου καὶ οἱ πλησίον μου ἐξ ἐναντίας μου ἤγγισαν καὶ ἔστησαν, καὶ οἱ ἔγγιστά μου ἀπὸ μακροθυμεῖ ἔστησαν·
11 My friends and my neighbours approached opposite me and stood, and my close relative stood far off.	11 My friends and my neighbours approached opposite me and stood, and my close relative stood far off.

12 They also who seek after my life lay snares for me; and they who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

12 καὶ ἐξεβιάσαντο οἱ ζητοῦντες τὴν ψυχήν μου· καὶ οἱ ζητοῦντες τὰ κακά μοι ἐλάλησαν ματαιότητας, καὶ δολιότητας ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐμελέτησαν.	12 καὶ ἐξεβιάζοντο οἱ ζητοῦντες τὴν ψυχήν μου, καὶ οἱ ζητοῦντες τὰ κακά μοι ἐλάλησαν ματαιότητας, καὶ δολιότητας ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐμελέτησαν.
12 And those who seek my soul used violence, and those who seek my hurt spoke vanities, and they made speeches about deceits all day long.	12 And those who seek my soul used violence, and those who seek my hurt spoke vanities, and they made speeches about deceits all day long.

13 But I, as a deaf man, didn’t hear; and I was as a dumb man who doesn’t open his mouth.

13 ἐγὼ δὲ ὡσεὶ κωφὸς οὐκ ἤκουον, καὶ ὡσεὶ ἄλαλος οὐκ ἀνοίγων τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ·	13 ἐγὼ δὲ ὡσεὶ κωφὸς οὐκ ἤκουον καὶ ὡσεὶ ἄλαλος οὐκ ἀνοίγων τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ·
13 But as for me, I, am like the deaf, they were not hearing, and like a mute man not opening his mouth.	13 But as for me, I, am like the deaf, they were not hearing, and like a mute man not opening his mouth.

14 Thus I was as a man who doesn’t hear, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

14 καὶ ἐγενόμην ὡσεὶ ἄνθρωπος οὐκ ἀκούων, καὶ οὐκ ἔχων ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ ἐλεγμούς.	14 καὶ ἐγενόμην ὡσεὶ ἄνθρωπος οὐκ ἀκούων καὶ οὐκ ἔχων ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ ἐλεγμούς.
14 And I became like a man who doesn’t hear and who doesn’t have reproofs in his mouth,	14 And I became like a man who doesn’t hear and who doesn’t have reproofs in his mouth,

15 For in you, Oh Yahweh, do I hope; you will hear, Oh Lord my God.

15 Ὅτι ἐπὶ σοὶ κύριε ἤλπισα, σὺ εἰσακούσῃ κύριε ὁ θεός μου.	15 ὅτι ἐπὶ σοί, Κύριε, ἤλπισα· σὺ εἰσακούσῃ, Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου.
15 because I have confidence in you, Oh Lord; you will listen, Oh my God.	15 because I have confidence in you, Oh Lord; you will listen, Oh my Lord God.

16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me; when my foot slips, they magnify themselves against me.

16 ὅτι εἶπα, μήποτε ἐπιχαρῶσίν μοι οἱ ἐχθροί μου, καὶ ἐν τῷ σαλευθῆναι πόδας μου, ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἐμεγαλορρημόνησαν.	16 ὅτι εἶπα· μήποτε ἐπιχαρῶσί μοι οἱ ἔχθροί μου· καὶ ἐν τῷ σαλευθῆναι πόδας μου ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἐμεγαλοῤῥημόνησαν.
16 because I said, Only let not my enemies be happy over me, and when my feet were shaken, they bragged against me;	16 because I said, Only let not my enemies be happy over me, and when my feet were shaken, they bragged against me;

17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

17 ὅτι ἐγὼ εἰς μάστιγας ἕτοιμος, καὶ ἡ ἀλγηδών μου ἐνώπιόν μου διὰ παντός.	17 ὅτι ἐγὼ εἰς μάστιγας ἕτοιμος, καὶ ἡ ἀλγηδών μου ἐνώπιόν μού ἔστι διαπαντός.
17 because I am prepared for whips, and my pain is always before me;	17 because I am prepared for whips, and my pain is always before me;

18 For I will declare my iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

18 because I will report my lawlessness, and I will show anxiety over my sin.	18 because I will report my lawlessness, and I will show anxiety over my sin.

19 But my enemies are lively, and they are strong; and they who hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

19 οἱ δὲ ἐχθροί μου ζῶσιν, καὶ κεκραταίωνται ὑπὲρ ἐμέ, καὶ ἐπληθύνθησαν οἱ μισοῦντές με ἀδίκως.	19 οἱ δὲ ἔχθροί μου ζῶσι καὶ κεκραταίωνται ὑπὲρ ἐμέ, καὶ ἐπληθύνθησαν οἱ μισοῦντές με ἀδίκως·
19 But my enemies are alive and are stronger than I, and those who hate me unjustly have multiplied.	19 But my enemies are alive and are stronger than I, and those who hate me unjustly have multiplied.

20 They also who render evil for good are my adversaries; because I follow the thing that is good.

20 οἱ ἀνταποδιδόντες κακὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν, ἐνδιέβαλλόν με, ἐπεὶ κατεδίωκον δικαιοσύνην. [καὶ ἀπέρριψάν με τὸν ἀγαπητὸν ὡσεὶ νεκρὸν ἐβδελυγμένον].	20 οἱ ἀνταποδιδόντες μοι κακὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν ἐνδιέβαλλόν με, ἐπεὶ κατεδίωκον ἀγαθωσύνην.
20 Those who repay evil for good would slander me, since I would follow after righteousness, [and they cast off me, the beloved, like a sickening corpse.]	20 Those who repay evil for good would slander me, since I would follow after goodness.

21 Don’t forsake me, Oh Yahweh; Oh my God, don’t be far from me.

21 μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς με κύριε ὁ θεός μου, μὴ ἀποστῇς ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ.	21 μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς με, Κύριε· ὁ Θεός μου, μὴ ἀποστῇς ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ·
