1 Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger

or discipline me in your wrath.

2 Your arrows have pierced me,

and your hand has come down on me.

3 Because of your wrath there is no health in my body;

there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin.

4 My guilt has overwhelmed me

like a burden too heavy to bear.

5 My wounds fester and are loathsome

because of my sinful folly.

6 I am bowed down and brought very low;

all day long I go about mourning.

7 My back is filled with searing pain;

there is no health in my body.

8 I am feeble and utterly crushed;

I groan in anguish of heart.

1 O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath:

Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2 For thine arrows stick fast in me,

And thy hand presseth me sore.

3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger;

Neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head:

As an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5 My wounds stink and are corrupt

Because of my foolishness.

6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly;

I go mourning all the day long.

7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease:

And there is no soundness in my flesh.

8 I am feeble and sore broken:

I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

1 O Lord, don’t rebuke me in your anger

or discipline me in your rage!

2 Your arrows have struck deep,

and your blows are crushing me.

3 Because of your anger, my whole body is sick;

my health is broken because of my sins.

4 My guilt overwhelms me—

it is a burden too heavy to bear.

5 My wounds fester and stink

because of my foolish sins.

6 I am bent over and racked with pain.

All day long I walk around filled with grief.

7 A raging fever burns within me,

and my health is broken.

8 I am exhausted and completely crushed.

My groans come from an anguished heart.

1 O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your wrath,

Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure!

2 For Your arrows pierce me deeply,

And Your hand presses me down.

3 There is no soundness in my flesh

Because of Your anger,

Nor any health in my bones

Because of my sin.

4 For my iniquities have gone over my head;

Like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5 My wounds are foul and festering

Because of my foolishness.

6 I am troubled, I am bowed down greatly;

I go mourning all the day long.

7 For my loins are full of inflammation,

And there is no soundness in my flesh.

8 I am feeble and severely broken;

I groan because of the turmoil of my heart.

1 Lord, don’t correct me when you are angry.

Don’t punish me when you are furious.

2 Your arrows have wounded me,

and your hand has come down on me.

3 My body is sick from your punishment.

Even my bones are not healthy because of my sin.

4 My guilt has overwhelmed me;

like a load it weighs me down.

5 My sores stink and become infected

because I was foolish.

6 I am bent over and bowed down;

I am sad all day long.

7 I am burning with fever,

and my whole body is sore.

8 I am weak and faint.

I moan from the pain I feel.

1 O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath;

Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2 For thine arrows stick fast in me,

And thy hand presseth me sore.

3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation;

Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

4 For mine iniquities are gone over my head:

As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5 My wounds are loathsome and corrupt,

Because of my foolishness.

6 I am pained and bowed down greatly;

I go mourning all the day long.

7 For my loins are filled with burning;

And there is no soundness in my flesh.

8 I am faint and sore bruised:

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

1 Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath; neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand cometh down upon me. 3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; no peace in my bones, because of my sin. 4 For mine iniquities are gone over my head: as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 5 My wounds stink, they are corrupt, because of my foolishness. 6 I am depressed; I am bowed down beyond measure; I go mourning all the day. 7 For my loins are full of burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh. 8 I am faint and broken beyond measure; I roar by reason of the agitation of my heart.

1 O Lord, do not angrily punish me 

or discipline me in your wrath. 

2 Your arrows have struck me. 

Your hand has struck me hard. 

3 No healthy spot is left on my body 

because of your rage. 

There is no peace in my bones 

because of my sin. 

4 My guilt has overwhelmed me. 

Like a heavy load, it is more than I can bear. 

5 My wounds smell rotten. 

They fester because of my stupidity. 

6 I am bent over and bowed down very low. 

All day I walk around in mourning. 

7 My insides are filled with burning pain, 

and no healthy spot is left on my body. 

8 I am numb and completely devastated. 

I roar because my heart’s in turmoil. 

1 Lord, do not punish me in Your anger

or discipline me in Your wrath.

2 For Your arrows have sunk into me,

and Your hand has pressed down on me.

3 There is no health in my body

because of Your indignation;

because of my sin.

they are a burden too heavy for me to bear.
