1 By David; To remember. O Yah Veh, neither reprove me in your rage nor discipline me in your fury:
2 for your arrows penetrate me and your hand penetrates me.
3 There is neither integrity in my flesh at the face of your rage; nor any shalom in my bones at the face of my sin.
4 For my perversities pass over my head; as a heavy burden, too heavy for me:
5 my wounds stink and dissolve at the face of my folly:
6 I bend; I prostrate mightily; I go darkened all the day long:
7 for my flanks are filled with scorching - no soundness in my flesh.
8 I am exhausted and mighty crushed; I roar from the growling of my heart:
9 Adonay, all my desire is in front of you; and my sighing is not hid from you.
10 My heart palpitates; my force forsakes me; as for the light of my eyes, they are not with me:
11 my lovers and my friends stand against my plague; my neighbours stand afar off:
12 they who seek my soul, snare me; and they who seek my evil, word calamities and meditate deceits all the day long.
13 And I, as deaf, hear not - as a mute who opens not his mouth
14 - as a man who hears not whose mouth reproofs not.
15 For in you, O Yah Veh, I await; answer, O Adonay my Elohim.
16 For I say, lest they cheer over me; when my foot totters they greaten against me.
17 For I am prepared to limp and my sorrow is continually in front of me.
18 For I tell my perversity - concerned for my sin:
19 and my enemies enliven and they are mighty: they who hate me falsely abound by the myriads;
20 they who shalam evil for good are my satans - because I pursue good.
21 Forsake me not, O Yah Veh; O my Elohim, be not far from me.
22 Hasten to help me, O Adonay my salvation.
