1 To the overseer upon the stringed instruments upon the octave, chanting of David. O Jehovah, not in thine anger wilt thou correct me, and not in thy wrath wilt thou chastise me. 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 Compassionate me, O Jehovah, for I languish: heal me, O Jehovah, for my bones trembled. 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 My soul trembled exceedingly: and thou, O Jehovah, how long? My soul also is greatly troubled. But you, O LORD—how long? My soul is in deep anguish. How long, LORD, how long?
4 Turn back, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: save me for sake of thy mercy. 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 in death none remembering thee: in hades who shall give thanks to thee? 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 was wearied with my sighing all the night I shall make my bed to swim with my tears; I shall make my couch to flow. 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 Mine eye fell away from grief; it grew old among all mine 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 Depart from me, all ye doing vanity, for Jehovah heard the voice 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 Jehovah heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive 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 All mine enemies shall be ashamed, they shall tremble exceedingly they shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly. 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.
