1 O LORD , do not rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your wrath. |
2 Be merciful to me, LORD , for I am faint;
O LORD , heal me, for my bones are in agony. |
3 My soul is in anguish.
How long, O LORD , how long? |
4 Turn, O LORD , and deliver me;
save me because of your unfailing love. |
5 No one remembers you when he is dead.
Who praises you from the grave1 6:5 Hebrew Sheol ? |
6 I am worn out from 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 ashamed and dismayed;
they will turn back in sudden disgrace. |
