| 1To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. On an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger, Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure. | 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. |
| 2Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am weak; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled. | 2Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint; heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony. |
| 3My soul also is greatly troubled; But You, O LORD—how long? | 3My soul is in deep anguish. How long, LORD, how long? |
| 4Return, O LORD, deliver me! Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake! | 4Turn, LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love. |
| 5For in death there is no remembrance of You; In the grave who will give You thanks? | 5Among the dead no one proclaims your name. Who praises you from the grave? |
| 6I am weary with my groaning; All night I make my bed swim; I drench my couch with my tears. | 6I am worn out from my groaning. All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears. |
| 7My eye wastes away because of grief; It grows old because of all my enemies. | 7My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes. |
| 8Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping. | 8Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping. |
| 9The LORD has heard my supplication; The LORD will receive my prayer. | 9The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer. |
| 10Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled; Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly. | 10All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame. |
