 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 A Psalm of David, for a memorial. O LORD, rebuke me not in Your wrath, And chasten me not in Your burning anger. | 1 O lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. | 1 O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath; Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. | 1 A psalm for David, for a remembrance of the sabbath. Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; nor chastise me in thy wrath. | 1 A Psalm of David, 'To cause to remember.' Jehovah, in Thy wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me. | 2 For Your arrows have sunk deep into me, And Your hand has pressed down on me. | 2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore. | 2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, And thy hand presseth me sore. | 2 For thy arrows are fastened in me : and thy hand hath been strong upon me. | 2 For Thine arrows have come down on me, And Thou lettest down upon me Thy hand. | 3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation; There is no health in my bones because of my sin. | 3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. | 3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin. | 3 There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath : there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins. | 3 Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Thine indignation, Peace is not in my bones because of my sin. | 4 For my iniquities are gone over my head; As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me. | 4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. | 4 For mine iniquities are gone over my head: As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. | 4 For my iniquities are gone over my head : and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me. | 4 For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden -- too heavy for me. | 5 My wounds grow foul and fester Because of my folly. | 5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. | 5 My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness. | 5 My sores are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness. | 5 Stunk -- become corrupt have my wounds, Because of my folly. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 I am bent over and greatly bowed down; I go mourning all day long. | 6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. | 6 I am pained and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. | 6 I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end : I walked sorrowful all the day long. | 6 I have been bent down, I have been bowed down -- unto excess, All the day I have gone mourning. | 7 For my loins are filled with burning, And there is no soundness in my flesh. | 7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh. | 7 For my loins are filled with burning; And there is no soundness in my flesh. | 7 For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh. | 7 For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh. | 8 I am benumbed and badly crushed; I groan because of the agitation of my heart. | 8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. | 8 I am faint and sore bruised: I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my heart. | 8 I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly : I roared with the groaning of my heart. | 8 I have been feeble and smitten -- unto excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart. | 9 Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You. | 9 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. | 9 Lord, all my desire is before thee; And my groaning is not hid from thee. | 9 Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hidden from thee. | 9 Lord, before Thee is all my desire, And my sighing from Thee hath not been hid. | 10 My heart throbs, my strength fails me; And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me. | 10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. | 10 My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me: As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. | 10 My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not with me. | 10 My heart is panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off. | 11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. | 11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off. | 11 My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off : | 11 My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood. | 12 Those who seek my life lay snares for me; And those who seek to injure me have threatened destruction, And they devise treachery all day long. | 12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long. | 12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me ; And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, And meditate deceits all the day long. | 12 And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long. | 12 And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they do deceits meditate all the day. | 13 But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; And I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth. | 13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. | 13 But I, as a deaf man, hear not; And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. | 13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not : and as a dumb man not opening his mouth. | 13 And I, as deaf, hear not. And as a dumb one who openeth not his mouth. | 14 Yes, I am like a man who does not hear, And in whose mouth are no arguments. | 14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs. | 14 Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs. | 14 And I became as a man that heareth not : and that hath no reproofs in his mouth. | 14 Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs. | 15 For I hope in You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God. | 15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. | 15 For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope: Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God. | 15 For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped : thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God. | 15 Because for Thee, O Jehovah, I have waited, Thou dost answer, O Lord my God. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 For I said, "May they not rejoice over me, Who, when my foot slips, would magnify themselves against me." | 16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. | 16 For I said, Lest they rejoice over me: When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. | 16 For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me : and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me. | 16 When I said, 'Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves. | 17 For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me. | 17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me. | 17 For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me. | 17 For I am ready for scourges : and my sorrow is continually before me. | 17 For I am ready to halt, And my pain is before me continually. | 18 For I confess my iniquity; I am full of anxiety because of my sin. | 18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. | 18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. | 18 For I will declare my inequity : and I will think for my sin. | 18 For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin. | 19 But my enemies are vigorous and strong, And many are those who hate me wrongfully. | 19 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. | 19 But mine enemies are lively, and are strong; And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. | 19 But my enemies live, and are stronger that I : and they hate me wrongfully are multiplied. | 19 And mine enemies are lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied. | 20 And those who repay evil for good, They oppose me, because I follow what is good. | 20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is. | 20 They also that render evil for good Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good. | 20 They that render evil for good, have detracted me, because I followed goodness. | 20 And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 21 Do not forsake me, O LORD; O my God, do not be far from me! | 21 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me. | 21 Forsake me not, O Jehovah: O my God, be not far from me. | 21 Forsake me not, O Lord my God : do not thou depart from me. | 21 Do not forsake me, O Jehovah, My God, be not far from me, | 22 Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation! | 22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation. | 22 Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation. | 22 Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation. | 22 Haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation! |
