1 O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger, Nor chasten me in Your wrath.

2 H ave mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am pining away; Heal me, O Lord, for my bones are dismayed.

3 M y soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?

And my soul is greatly dismayed; But You, O Lord — how long?

4 R eturn, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.

Return, O Lord, rescue my soul; Save me because of Your lovingkindness.

5 F or in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

For there is no mention of You in death; In Sheol who will give You thanks?

6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

I am weary with my sighing; Every night I make my bed swim, I dissolve my couch with my tears.

7 M ine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

My eye has wasted away with grief; It has become old because of all my adversaries.

8 D epart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

Depart from me, all you who do iniquity, For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

9 T he Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.

The Lord has heard my supplication, The Lord receives my prayer.

10 L et all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

All my enemies will be ashamed and greatly dismayed; They shall turn back, they will suddenly be ashamed.
