picture

1 Y ahweh, don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.

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

2 H ave mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am faint. Yahweh, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

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 in great anguish. But you, Yahweh—how long?

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

4 R eturn, Yahweh. Deliver my soul, and save me for your loving kindness’ sake.

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

5 F or in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?

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

6 I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench 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 y eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.

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

8 D epart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for Yahweh has 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 Y ahweh has heard my supplication. Yahweh accepts my prayer.

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

10 M ay all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.

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