2 Hashem, rebuke me not in Thy wrath;

neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure.

3  For Thine khitzim (arrows) pierce me,

and Thy Yad presseth upon me.

4  There is no health in my basar

because of Thine anger;

neither is there any shalom in my atzmot

because of my chattat.

5  For mine avonot (iniquities) are gone over mine head;

as a weighty massa (burden) they are too heavy for me.

6  My chaburot (wounds) are foul and festering

because of my wicked folly.

7  I am bent down;

I am brought low ad me'od; I go about mourning all day long.

8  For my loins are filled with burning;

and there is no health in my basar.

9  I am feeble and broken ad me'od;

I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my lev.

10  Adonoi, all my ta'avah (desire, longing) is before Thee;

and my groaning is not hid from Thee.

11  My lev panteth,

my ko'ach faileth me;

as for the ohr of mine eyes,

it also is gone from me.

12  My loved ones and my re'a

stand aloof from my nega;*See Isa 53:8 on Moshiachʼs nega

and my neighbors stand afar off.

13  They also that seek after my nefesh lay snares for me;

and they that seek my hurt speak of ruin,

and plot mirmot (deceptions, deceits) all the day long.

14  But I, like a cheresh (deaf man), heard not;

and I was like a mute that openeth not his mouth.

15  Thus I was like an ish that heareth not,

and in whose mouth are no tokhachot (reproofs).

16  For I wait for Thee, Hashem;

Thou wilt hear, Adonoi Elohai.

17  For I said,

Hear me, lest otherwise they should gloat over me;

when my regel slippeth,

they magnify themselves against me.

18  For I am ready to fall,

and my sorrow is before me tamid.

19  For I will declare mine avon;

I will be in anguish over my chattat.

20  But mine oveyim are chayyim (vigorous), and they are strong;

and they that hate me sheker (wrongfully) are multiplied.

21  They also that repay ra'ah for tovah are mine adversaries;

because I pursue the thing that is tov.

22  Forsake me not, Hashem Elohai;

be not far from me.

23  Make haste to help me,

Adonoi Teshuati (L-rd of my salvation).
