1. To the chief musician, for eight-stringed instruments. A Psalm of David O Jehovah, do not rebuke me in Your anger; nor chasten me in the heat of Your fury;
2. have mercy on me, O Jehovah, for I am weak; heal me, O Jehovah, for my bones are troubled.
3. My soul also is greatly troubled and You, O Jehovah, until when?
4. O Jehovah, return, deliver my soul; save me for Your mercy's sake.
5. For there is no memory of You in death; who shall give thanks to You in Sheol?
6. I am weary in my groaning; I shall make my bed swim in all the night; I melt my couch with my tears.
7. My eye is dim because of grief; it wastes away because of all those distressing me.
8. Depart from me, all workers of iniquity, for Jehovah has heard the voice of my weeping.
9. Jehovah has heard my plea; Jehovah will receive my prayer.
10. Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled; they shall turn back, ashamed in a moment.
