O lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

Verse 1 is found in chapter 38 of Psalms. Psalm 38 presents physical suffering, guilt, and social isolation within a single penitential prayer. The psalmist’s wounds are interpreted in relation to his sin, but the text does not reduce all human illness to a mechanical explanation: the center is the plea for mercy. Friends and enemies become part of the anguish, while the psalmist maintains an attitude of waiting before God and ends by asking the Lord not to be far away.

Ein Psalm Davids, zum Gedächtnis.
Jehová, no me reprendas en tu furor, Ni me castigues en tu ira.
Jehová, no me reprendas en tu indignación ni me disciplines en tu furor.
Psaume de David. Pour souvenir. Eternel! ne me punis pas dans ta colère, Et ne me châtie pas dans ta fureur.
Salmo di Davide, da rammemorare SIGNORE, non correggermi nella tua indegnazione; E non castigarmi nel tuo cruccio.
Ó SENHOR, não me repreendas na tua ira, nem me castigues no teu furor.
耶和華啊,求你不要在怒中責備我, 不要在烈怒中懲罰我!
