1 Lord, do
not rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your wrath.
2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint;
heal me, Lord,
for my bones are in agony.
3 My soul is in deep anguish.
How long, Lord,
how long?
4 Turn, Lord, and deliver me;
save me because of your unfailing
love.
5 Among the dead no one proclaims your
name.
Who praises you from the grave?
6 I am worn out from my groaning.
All night long I flood my
bed with weeping
and drench my couch with tears.
7 My eyes grow weak with
sorrow;
they fail because of all my foes.
8 Away from
me, all you who do evil,
for the Lord has heard my
weeping.
9 The Lord has heard my cry for
mercy;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies will be overwhelmed with
shame and anguish;
they will turn back and suddenly be put to
shame.
