1(Mizmor Dovid. For the memorial portion of the mincha)

2Hashem, rebuke me not in Thy wrath;
neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure.

3For Thine khitzim (arrows) pierce me,
and Thy Yad presseth upon me.

4There is no health in my basar
because of Thine anger;
neither is there any shalom in my atzmot
because of my chattat.

5For mine avonot (iniquities) are gone over mine head;
as a weighty massa (burden) they are too heavy for me.

6My chaburot (wounds) are foul and festering
because of my wicked folly.

7I am bent down;
I am brought low ad me'od; I go about mourning all day long.

8For my loins are filled with burning;
and there is no health in my basar.

9I am feeble and broken ad me'od;
I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my lev.

10Adonoi, all my ta'avah (desire, longing) is before Thee;
and my groaning is not hid from Thee.

11My lev panteth,
my ko'ach faileth me;
as for the ohr of mine eyes,
it also is gone from me.

12My loved ones and my re'a
stand aloof from my nega; ³⁵
and my neighbors stand afar off.

13They also that seek after my nefesh lay snares for me;
and they that seek my hurt speak of ruin,
and plot mirmot (deceptions, deceits) all the day long.

14But I, like a cheresh (deaf man), heard not;
and I was like a mute that openeth not his mouth.

15Thus I was like an ish that heareth not,
and in whose mouth are no tokhachot (reproofs).

16For I wait for Thee, Hashem;
Thou wilt hear, Adonoi Elohai.

17For I said,
Hear me, lest otherwise they should gloat over me;
when my regel slippeth,
they magnify themselves against me.

18For I am ready to fall,
and my sorrow is before me tamid.

19For I will declare mine avon;
I will be in anguish over my chattat.

20But mine oveyim are chayyim (vigorous), and they are strong;
and they that hate me sheker (wrongfully) are multiplied.

21They also that repay ra'ah for tovah are mine adversaries;
because I pursue the thing that is tov.

22Forsake me not, Hashem Elohai;
be not far from me.

23Make haste to help me,
Adonoi Teshuati (L-rd of my salvation).
