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

To the Overseer with stringed instruments, on the octave. -- A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.

2 H ave mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

Favour me, O Jehovah, for I weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,

3 M y soul is also greatly troubled; but thou, O LORD, how long?

And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?

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

Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.

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

For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee?

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

I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.

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

Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,

8 ¶ Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,

9 T he LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD has received my prayer.

Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.

10 A ll my enemies shall be ashamed; they shall be sorely troubled: they shall turn back and be ashamed suddenly.

Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back -- ashamed a moment!
