1 T o 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.

O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2 F avour me, O Jehovah, for I weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,

Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away: O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled.

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

My soul also is sore troubled: And thou, O Jehovah, how long?

4 T urn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.

Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: Save me for thy lovingkindness' sake.

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

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

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

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

7 O ld from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,

Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.

8 T urn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9 J ehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.

Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer.

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

All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled: They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly.
