1O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 2Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak; O LORD, heal me; for my bones are troubled. 3My soul is also troubled exceedingly but thou, O LORD, how long? 4Return, O LORD, and deliver my soul: save me for thy mercies' sake. 5For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who shall give thee thanks? 6I am weary with my groaning; and every night I water my bed and wash my mattress with my tears. 7Mine eye is weakened because of anger; and I am troubled by all my enemies. 8Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping. 9The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD has received my prayer. 10Let all my enemies be ashamed and defeated; let them turn back and be destroyed suddenly.
