5Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness;
let him rebuke med—that is oil on my head.e
My head will not refuse it,
for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers.
6Their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs,f
and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.
7They will say, “As one plowsg and breaks up the earth,h
so our bones have been scattered at the mouthi of the grave.”

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness;
let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;
let my head not refuse it.
Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
When their judges are thrown over the cliff,
then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.
As when one plows and breaks up the earth,
so shall our bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Let the righteous one strike me—
it is an act of faithful love;
let him rebuke me—
it is oil for my head;
let me not refuse it.
Even now my prayer is against
the evil acts of the wicked.
When their rulers will be thrown off
the sides of a cliff,
the people will listen to my words,
for they are pleasing.
As when one plows and breaks up the soil,
turning up rocks,
so our bones have been scattered
at the mouth of Sheol.

NLTNew Living Translation
Let the godly strike me!
It will be a kindness!
If they correct me, it is soothing medicine.
Don’t let me refuse it.
But I pray constantly
against the wicked and their deeds.
When their leaders are thrown down from a cliff,
the wicked will listen to my words and find them true.
Like rocks brought up by a plow,
the bones of the wicked will lie scattered without burial.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Let a righteous one strike me in kindness,
and let him chasten me.
It is oil for my head; let not my head refuse.
For still my prayer is against their evil deeds.
When their judges are thrown down the sides of a cliff,
then they will understand that my words were pleasant.
As when one plows and breaks up the earth,
so our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

KJV 1900King James Version
Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness:
And let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil,
Which shall not break my head:
For yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
When their judges are overthrown in stony places,
They shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth,
As when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
