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.

Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, and chasten me not in thy hot displeasure.

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

Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am withered; Jehovah, heal me, for my bones tremble.

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

And my soul trembleth exceedingly: and thou, Jehovah, till how long?

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

Return, Jehovah, free my soul; save me for thy loving-kindness' 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 thanks unto thee?

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 wearied with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I dissolve 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 through grief; it hath grown old because of all mine oppressors.

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 receiveth my prayer.

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

All mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.
