- <To the chief music-maker on corded instruments, on the Sheminith.
A Psalm.
Of David.>
O Lord, do not be bitter with me in your wrath;
do not send punishment on me in the heat of your passion.
- 2
- Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am wasted away: make me well, for even my bones are troubled.
- 3
- My soul is in bitter trouble;
and you, O Lord, how long?
- 4
- Come back, O Lord, make my soul free;
O give me salvation because of your mercy.
- 5
- For in death there is no memory of you;
in the underworld who will give you praise?
- 6
- The voice of my sorrow is a weariness to me;
all the night I make my bed wet with weeping;
it is watered by the drops flowing from my eyes.
- 7
- My eyes are wasting away with trouble;
they are becoming old because of all those who are against me.
- 8
- Go from me, all you workers of evil;
for the Lord has given ear to the voice of my weeping.
- 9
- The Lord has given ear to my request;
the Lord has let my prayer come before him.
- 10
- Let all those who are against me be shamed and deeply troubled;
let them be turned back and suddenly put to shame.
