0. A Psalm of David, for the memorial offering.
1. PSALMUS. David. Ad commemorandum.
1. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy anger, nor chasten me in thy wrath!
2. Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me neque in ira tua corripias me,
2. For thy arrows have sunk into me, and thy hand has come down on me.
3. quoniam sagittae tuae infixae sunt mihi, et descendit super me manus tua.
3. There is no soundness in my flesh because of thy indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin.
4. Non est sanitas in carne mea a facie indignationis tuae, non est pax ossibus meis a facie peccatorum meorum.
4. For my iniquities have gone over my head; they weigh like a burden too heavy for me.
5. Quoniam iniquitates meae supergressae sunt caput meum et sicut onus grave gravant me nimis. -
5. My wounds grow foul and fester because of my foolishness,
6. Putruerunt et corrupti sunt livores mei a facie insipientiae meae.
6. I am utterly bowed down and prostrate; all the day I go about mourning.
7. Inclinatus sum et incurvatus nimis; tota die contristatus ingrediebar.
7. For my loins are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8. Quoniam lumbi mei impleti sunt ardoribus, et non est sanitas in carne mea.
8. I am utterly spent and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart.
9. Afflictus sum et humiliatus sum nimis, rugiebam a gemitu cordis mei.
9. Lord, all my longing is known to thee, my sighing is not hidden from thee.
10. Domine, ante te omne desiderium meum, et gemitus meus a te non est absconditus.
10. My heart throbs, my strength fails me; and the light of my eyes -- it also has gone from me.
11. Palpitavit cor meum, dereliquit me virtus mea, et lumen oculorum meorum, et ipsum non est mecum.
11. My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague, and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12. Amici mei et proximi mei procul a plaga mea steterunt, et propinqui mei de longe steterunt.
12. Those who seek my life lay their snares, those who seek my hurt speak of ruin, and meditate treachery all the day long.
13. Et laqueos posuerunt, qui quaerebant animam meam; et, qui requirebant mala mihi, locuti sunt insidias et dolos tota die meditabantur.
13. But I am like a deaf man, I do not hear, like a dumb man who does not open his mouth.
14. Ego autem tamquam surdus non audiebam et sicut mutus non aperiens os suum;
14. Yea, I am like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth are no rebukes.
15. et factus sum sicut homo non audiens et non habens in ore suo redargutiones.
15. But for thee, O LORD, do I wait; it is thou, O LORD my God, who wilt answer.
16. Quoniam in te, Domine, speravi, tu exaudies, Domine Deus meus.
16. For I pray, "Only let them not rejoice over me, who boast against me when my foot slips!"
17. Quia dixi: “Ne quando supergaudeant mihi; dum commoventur pedes mei, magnificantur super me”.
17. For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
18. Quoniam ego in lapsum paratus sum, et dolor meus in conspectu meo semper.
18. I confess my iniquity, I am sorry for my sin.
19. Quoniam iniquitatem meam annuntiabo et sollicitus sum de peccato meo.
19. Those who are my foes without cause are mighty, and many are those who hate me wrongfully.
20. Inimici autem mei vivunt et confirmati sunt; et multiplicati sunt, qui oderunt me inique.
20. Those who render me evil for good are my adversaries because I follow after good.
21. Retribuentes mala pro bonis detrahebant mihi, pro eo quod sequebar bonitatem.
21. Do not forsake me, O LORD! O my God, be not far from me!
22. Ne derelinquas me, Domine; Deus meus, ne discesseris a me.
22. Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
23. Festina in adiutorium meum, Domine, salus mea.
23.
