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

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

3 A nd my soul is greatly dismayed; But You, O Lord — how long?

4 R eturn, O Lord, rescue my soul; Save me because of Your lovingkindness.

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

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

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

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

9 T he Lord has heard my supplication, The Lord receives my prayer.

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