1 O Yahweh! do not, in thine anger, correct me, nor, in thy wrath, chastise me. 2Show me favour, O Yahweh, for languishing am I: Heal me, O Yahweh,—for dismayed are my bones: 3Yea, my soul, is dismayed greatly, Thou, then, O Yahweh—how long? 4Return, O Yahweh, deliver my soul, Save me, for the sake of thy lovingkindness; 5For, in death, is no remembrance of thee,—In hades, who shall give thanks unto thee? 6I am weary with my sighing, I flood, through the whole night, my couch,—With my tears, I cause, my bed, to dissolve: 7My face, is all sunken with sorrow,—it hath aged, because of all mine adversaries.

8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for Yahweh hath heard the voice of my weeping: 9Yahweh, hath heard my supplication, Yahweh, will receive, my prayer. 10Let all my foes, turn pale and be greatly dismayed, Again let them turn pale in a moment.
