2 Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am frail! Heal me, LORD, for my bones are shaking! Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are troubled. Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint; heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony.
3 I am absolutely terrified, and you, LORD--how long will this continue? My soul also is greatly troubled. But you, O LORD—how long? My soul is in deep anguish. How long, LORD, how long?
4 Relent, LORD, rescue me! Deliver me because of your faithfulness! Turn, O LORD, deliver my life; save me for the sake of your steadfast love. Turn, LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.
5 For no one remembers you in the realm of death, In Sheol who gives you thanks? For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who will give you praise? Among the dead no one proclaims your name. Who praises you from the grave?
6 I am exhausted as I groan; all night long I drench my bed in tears; my tears saturate the cushion beneath me. I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping. I am worn out from my groaning. All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.
7 My eyes grow dim from suffering; they grow weak because of all my enemies. My eye wastes away because of grief; it grows weak because of all my foes. My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.
8 Turn back from me, all you who behave wickedly, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping! Depart from me, all you workers of evil, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping. Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping.
9 The LORD has heard my appeal for mercy; the LORD has accepted my prayer. The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD accepts my prayer. The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.
10 May all my enemies be humiliated and absolutely terrified! May they turn back and be suddenly humiliated! All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled; they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment. All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
