Peshitta	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
	1 A psalm of David. For remembrance.
2 ܡܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܒܪܘܓܙܟ ܬܟܣܢܝ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܒܚܡܬܟ ܬܪܕܝܢܝ	2 LORD, punish me no more in your anger; in your wrath do not chastise me!
3 ܡܛܘܠ ܕܓܐܪ̈ܝܟ ܐܬܩܒܥܘ ܒܝ ܘܐܬܬܢܝܚܬ ܐܝܕܟ ܥܠܝ	3 Your arrows have sunk deep in me; your hand has come down upon me.
4 ܘܠܝܬ ܫܠܡܐ ܠܒܣܪܝ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܚܡܬܟ ܘܠܝܬ ܫܠܡܐ ܠܓܪ̈ܡܝ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܚ̈ܛܗܝ	4 My flesh is afflicted because of your anger; my frame aches because of my sin.
5 ܡܛܠ ܕܣ̈ܟܠܘܬܝ ܥܒܪ ܠܪܝܫܝ ܘܐܝܟ ܡܘܒܠܐ ܝܩܝܪܬܐ ܝܩܪ ܠܝ	5 My iniquities overwhelm me, a burden beyond my strength.
6 ܣܪ̈ܝ ܘܐܬ̈ܡܣܝ ܚܒܪ̈ܬܝ ܘܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܣ̈ܟܠܘܬܝ	6 Foul and festering are my sores because of my folly.
7 ܙܥܬ ܛܒ ܘܟܠܗ ܝܘܡܐ ܒܟܡܝܪܘܬܐ ܗܠܟܬ	7 I am stooped and deeply bowed; all day I go about mourning.
8 ܡܛܠ ܕܩܘܪ̈ܨܠܝ ܐܬܡܠܝܘ ܙܘܥܬܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܫܠܡܐ ܠܒܣܪܝ	8 My loins burn with fever; my flesh is afflicted.
9 ܙܥܬ ܘܐܬܕܘܝܬ ܛܒ ܘܢܗܓ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܢ ܢܗܡܬܗ ܕܠܒܝ	9 I am numb and utterly crushed; I wail with anguish of heart.
10 ܡܪܝܐ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܗܝ ܟܠܗ̇ ܪܓܬܝ ܘܬܐܢܚ̈ܬܝ ܡܢܟ ܠܐ ܡܛܫ̈ܝܢ	10 My Lord, my deepest yearning is before you; my groaning is not hidden from you.
11 ܠܒܝ ܐܬܗܦܟ ܘܚܝܠܝ ܫܒܩܢܝ ܘܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܥܝܢ̈ܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬܝ	11 My heart shudders, my strength forsakes me; the very light of my eyes has failed.
12 ܪ̈ܚܡܝ ܘܚܒܪ̈ܝ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܟܐܒܝ ܩܡܘ ܘܩܪ̈ܝܒܝ ܒܪܘܚܩܐ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ	12 Friends and companions shun my pain; my neighbors stand far off.
13 ܘܐܚܕܘܢܝ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܥܝܢ ܠܢܦܫܝ ܘܨܒܝܢ ܠܒܝܫܬܝ ܘܡܠܠܘ ܫܘܩܪܐ ܘܢܟܠܐ ܝܘܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܪܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ	13 Those who seek my life lay snares for me; they seek my misfortune, they speak of ruin; they plot treachery all the day.
14 ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܚܪܫܐ ܠܐ ܫܡܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܐܝܟ ܕܘܓܐ ܠܐ ܦܬܚܬ ܦܘܡܝ	14 But I am like the deaf, hearing nothing, like the dumb, saying nothing,
15 ܘܗܘܝܬ ܐܝܟ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܫܡܥ ܘܠܝܬ ܡܟܣܢܘܬܐ ܒܦܘܡܗ	15 Like someone who does not hear, who has no answer ready.
16 ܡܛܠ ܕܠܟ ܣܟܝܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܥܢܝܬܢܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܝ	16 LORD, I wait for you; O Lord, my God, answer me.
17 ܡܛܘܠ ܕܐܡܪܬ ܕܠܐ ܢܚܕܘܢ ܠܝ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܬܪܝܡܘܢ ܥܠܝ ܒܙܘܥܬܐ ܕܪ̈ܓܠܝ	17 For I fear they will gloat, exult over me if I stumble.
18 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢܐ ܠܚܫܐ ܡܛܝܒ ܐܢܐ ܘܟܐܒܝ ܠܘܩܒܠܝ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ	18 I am very near to falling; my pain is with me always.
19 ܡܛܘܠ ܕܐܚܘܝܟ ܣ̈ܟܠܘܬܝ ܘܐܬܕܟܐ ܡܢ ܚ̈ܛܗܝ	19 I acknowledge my guilt and grieve over my sin.
20 ܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝ ܐܬܥܫܢܘ ܘܚܙܘ ܘܣܓܝܘ ܣܢܐ̈ܝ ܕܫܘܩܪܐ	20 But many are my foes without cause, a multitude of enemies without reason,
21 ܦܪܥܘܢܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܚܠܦ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܣܩܪܘܢܝ ܥܠ ܕܒܥܝܬ ܛܒܬܐ	21 Repaying me evil for good, harassing me for pursuing good.
22 ܠܐ ܬܫܒܩܢܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܝ ܘܠܐ ܬܪܚܩ ܡܢܝ	22 Forsake me not, O LORD; my God, be not far from me!
23 ܐܠܐ ܟܬܪ ܠܥܘܕܪܢܝ ܘܦܪܘܩܝܢܝ	23 Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my salvation!
