(For the music director; with stringed instruments, on the Sheminith. A psalm of David. ) O Yahweh, do not rebuke me in your anger, and do not discipline me in your wrath.
2
Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, because I am feeble. Heal me, O Yahweh, for my bones are terrified.
3
My soul is also very terrified. But you, O Yahweh, how long?
4
Turn, O Yahweh; deliver my life. Save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
5
For there is no remembrance of you in death. In Sheol, who will give thanks to you?
6
I am weary with my groaning; I flood my bed every night. With my tears I drench my couch.
7
My eye wastes away because of vexation; it grows old because of all my oppressors.
8
Depart from me, all workers of evil, for Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping.
9
Yahweh has heard my plea; Yahweh has accepted my prayer.
10
All my enemies shall be ashamed and shall be very terrified. They shall turn back; they shall suddenly be ashamed.
