1 O LORD, don’t rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage. O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath. For 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.
2 Have compassion on me, LORD, for I am weak. Heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony. 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 sick at heart. How long, O LORD, until you restore me? My soul also is greatly troubled. But you, O LORD—how long? My soul is in deep anguish. How long, LORD, how long?
4 Return, O LORD, and rescue me. Save me because of your unfailing love. 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 the dead do not remember you. Who can praise you from the grave? 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 worn out from sobbing. All night I flood my bed with weeping, drenching it with my tears. 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 vision is blurred by grief; my eyes are worn out 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 Go away, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard 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 plea; the LORD will answer 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 disgraced and terrified. May they suddenly turn back in shame. 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.
