For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. |
2 |
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away: O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled. |
3 |
My soul also is sore troubled: And thou, O Jehovah, how long? |
4 |
Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: Save me for thy lovingkindness` sake. |
5 |
For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In Sheol who shall give thee thanks? |
6 |
I am weary with my groaning; Every night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. |
7 |
Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries. |
8 |
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping. |
9 |
Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer. |
10 |
All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled: They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly. |
