1. A psalm for David, for a remembrance of the sabbath.
2. Rebuke me not, O Lord, in Thy indignation; nor chastise me in thy wrath.
3. For Thy arrows are fastened in me: and thy hand hath been strong upon me.
4. There is no health in my flesh, because of Thy wrath: there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins.
5. For my iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.
6. My sores are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness.
7. I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long.
8. For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh.
9. I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning of my heart.

9. I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning of my heart.
10. Lord, all my desire is before Thee, and my groaning is not hidden from Thee.
11. My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not with me.
12. My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off:
13. 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.
14. But I, as a deaf man, heard not: and as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
15. And I became as a man that heareth not: and that hath no reproofs in his mouth.
16. For in Thee, O Lord, have I hoped: Thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.
17. For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.
18. For I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is continually before me.
19. For I will declare my inequity: and I will think for my sin.

20. For the wicked shall perish;
the enemies of Yahweh are like the glory of the meadows;
they vanish like smoke, they vanish.
21. The wicked borrow, and do not repay;
22. For those whom Yahweh blesses possess the land,
and those whom He curses are cut off.
23. Yahweh establishes the steps of the righteous man,
and He delights in his way.
24. Though he fall, he is not cast down,
for Yahweh upholds his hand.
25. I have been young, and now am old,
yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
nor His offspring begging for bread.
26. He is ever compassionate and lends,
and his offspring are a blessing.
27. Turn away from evil and do good,
and dwell in thy abode for ever.
28. For Yahweh loves justice,
and He forsakes not His faithful ones.
They are ever under His care,
but the offspring of the wicked shall be cut off.

and dwell therein for ever.

35. I have seen the wicked in the height of his power;
he spread himself like a flourishing tree.
36. I passed by, and lo, he was no more;
I sought Him, and He was nowhere to be found.

for there is a future for the man of peace.

the posterity of the wicked shall be cut off.
