World English Bible
1In finem, ipsi Idithun. Canticum David.
1LORD, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
2[Dixi: Custodiam vias meas: ut non delinquam in lingua mea. Posui ori meo custodiam, cum consisteret peccator adversum me.
2For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.
3Obmutui, et humiliatus sum, et silui a bonis; et dolor meus renovatus est.
3There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
4Concaluit cor meum intra me; et in meditatione mea exardescet ignis.
4For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
5Locutus sum in lingua mea: Notum fac mihi, Domine, finem meum, et numerum dierum meorum quis est, ut sciam quid desit mihi.
5My wounds are loathsome and corrupt because of my foolishness.
6Ecce mensurabiles posuisti dies meos, et substantia mea tamquam nihilum ante te. Verumtamen universa vanitas, omnis homo vivens.
6I am in pain and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.
7Verumtamen in imagine pertransit homo; sed et frustra conturbatur: thesaurizat, et ignorat cui congregabit ea.
7For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.
8Et nunc quæ est exspectatio mea: nonne Dominus? et substantia mea apud te est.
8I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
9Ab omnibus iniquitatibus meis erue me: opprobrium insipienti dedisti me.
9Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
10Obmutui, et non aperui os meum, quoniam tu fecisti;
10My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.
11amove a me plagas tuas.
11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.
12A fortitudine manus tuæ ego defeci in increpationibus: propter iniquitatem corripuisti hominem. Et tabescere fecisti sicut araneam animam ejus: verumtamen vane conturbatur omnis homo.
12They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.
13Exaudi orationem meam, Domine, et deprecationem meam; auribus percipe lacrimas meas. Ne sileas, quoniam advena ego sum apud te, et peregrinus sicut omnes patres mei.
13But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear. I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.
14Remitte mihi, ut refrigerer priusquam abeam et amplius non ero.]
14Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.
