For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments, according to Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath. |
|
2
|
Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am frail; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are in agony. |
|
3
|
My soul is deeply distressed. How long, O LORD, how long? |
|
4
|
Turn, O LORD, and deliver my soul; save me because of Your loving devotion. |
|
5
|
For there is no mention of You in death; who can praise You from Sheol? |
|
6
|
I am weary from groaning; all night I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears. |
|
7
|
My eyes fail from grief; they grow dim because of all my foes. |
|
8
|
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard my weeping. |
|
9
|
The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer. |
|
10
|
All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace. |
