1  ^vO Lord, rebuke me not in your anger,

nor discipline me in your wrath.

2  Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;

^wheal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

3  My soul also is greatly troubled.

But you, O Lord—how long?

4  Turn, O Lord, ^xdeliver my life;

save me for the sake of your steadfast love.

5  For in death there is no remembrance of you;

in Sheol ^ywho will give you praise?

6  ^zI am weary with my moaning;

every night I flood my bed with tears;

I drench my couch with my weeping.

9  The Lord has heard my plea;

the Lord accepts my prayer.
