To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to The Sheminith.1 A Psalm of David.
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.
7 aMy eye wastes away because of grief;
it grows weak because of all my foes.
8 bDepart from me, all you workers of evil,
for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 The Lord has heard my plea;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
10 cAll my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
