| 1LORD, in your anger, do not rebuke me, in your wrath, do not discipline me. | 1For the director of music. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith. A psalm of David. LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath. |
| 2Be gracious to me, LORD, because I am fading away. Heal me, because my body is distressed. | 2Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint; heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony. |
| 3And my soul is deeply distressed. But you, LORD, how long do I wait? | 3My soul is in deep anguish. How long, LORD, how long? |
| 4Return, LORD, save my life! Deliver me, because of your gracious love. | 4Turn, LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love. |
| 5In death, there is no memory of you. Who will give you thanks where the dead are? | 5Among the dead no one proclaims your name. Who praises you from the grave? |
| 6I am weary from my groaning. Every night my couch is drenched with tears, my bed is soaked through. | 6I am worn out from my groaning. All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears. |
| 7My eyesight has faded because of grief, it has dimmed because of all my enemies. | 7My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes. |
| 8Get away from me, all of you who practice evil, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping. | 8Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping. |
| 9The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD receives my prayer. | 9The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer. |
| 10As for all my enemies, they will be put to shame; they will be greatly frightened and suddenly turn away ashamed. | 10All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame. |
