New Living Translation | Berean Study Bible |
1O LORD, don’t rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage. | 1For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments, according to Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath. |
2Have compassion on me, LORD, for I am weak. Heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony. | 2Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am frail; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are in agony. |
3I am sick at heart. How long, O LORD, until you restore me? | 3My soul is deeply distressed. How long, O LORD, how long? |
4Return, O LORD, and rescue me. Save me because of your unfailing love. | 4Turn, O LORD, and deliver my soul; save me because of Your loving devotion. |
5For the dead do not remember you. Who can praise you from the grave? | 5For there is no mention of You in death; who can praise You from Sheol? |
6I am worn out from sobbing. All night I flood my bed with weeping, drenching it with my tears. | 6I am weary from groaning; all night I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears. |
7My vision is blurred by grief; my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies. | 7My eyes fail from grief; they grow dim because of all my foes. |
8Go away, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping. | 8Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard my weeping. |
9The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD will answer my prayer. | 9The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer. |
10May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified. May they suddenly turn back in shame. | 10All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace. |
