1. Hashem, rebuke me not in Thy wrath; neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure.
2. (3) For Thine khitzim (arrows) pierce me, and Thy Yad presseth upon me.
3. (4) There is no health in my basar because of Thine anger; neither is there any shalom in my atzmot because of my chattat.
4. (5) For mine avonot (iniquities) are gone over mine head; as a weighty massa (burden) they are too heavy for me.
5. (6) My chaburot (wounds) are foul and festering because of my wicked folly.
