| 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. | 1For the choir director; with stringed instruments, upon an eight-string lyre. A Psalm of David. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger, Nor chasten me in Your wrath. |
| 2Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint; heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony. | 2Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am pining away; Heal me, O LORD, for my bones are dismayed. |
| 3My soul is in deep anguish. How long, LORD, how long? | 3And my soul is greatly dismayed; But You, O LORD-- how long? |
| 4Turn, LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love. | 4Return, O LORD, rescue my soul; Save me because of Your lovingkindness. |
| 5Among the dead no one proclaims your name. Who praises you from the grave? | 5For there is no mention of You in death; In Sheol who will give You thanks? |
| 6I am worn out from my groaning. All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears. | 6I am weary with my sighing; Every night I make my bed swim, I dissolve my couch with my tears. |
| 7My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes. | 7My eye has wasted away with grief; It has become old because of all my adversaries. |
| 8Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping. | 8Depart from me, all you who do iniquity, For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping. |
| 9The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer. | 9The LORD has heard my supplication, The LORD receives my prayer. |
| 10All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame. | 10All my enemies will be ashamed and greatly dismayed; They shall turn back, they will suddenly be ashamed. |
