1 O Lord, do not speak sharp words to me in Your anger, or punish me when You are angry.

2 B e kind to me, O Lord, for I am weak. O Lord, heal me for my bones are shaken.

3 M y soul is in great suffering. But You, O Lord, how long?

4 R eturn, O Lord. Set my soul free. Save me because of Your loving-kindness.

5 N o one remembers You when he is dead. Who gives You praise from the grave?

6 I am tired of crying inside myself. All night long my pillow is wet with tears. I flood my bed with them.

7 M y eye has grown weak with sorrow. It has grown old because of all who hate me.

8 G o away from me, all you who sin. For the Lord has heard the sound of my crying.

9 T he Lord has heard my cry for help. The Lord receives my prayer.

10 A ll those who hate me will be ashamed and worried. They will turn away. They will be put to shame right away.
