- {To the chief Musician.
On stringed instruments, upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David.} Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, and chasten me not in thy hot displeasure.
- 2
- Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am withered;
Jehovah, heal me, for my bones tremble.
- 3
- And my soul trembleth exceedingly: and thou, Jehovah, till how long?
- 4
- Return, Jehovah, free my soul;
save me for thy loving-kindness' sake.
- 5
- For in death there is no remembrance of thee;
in Sheol who shall give thanks unto thee?
- 6
- I am wearied with my groaning;
all the night make I my bed to swim; I dissolve my couch with my tears.
- 7
- Mine eye wasteth away through grief;
it hath grown old because of all mine oppressors.
- 8
- Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;
for Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.
- 9
- Jehovah hath heard my supplication;
Jehovah receiveth my prayer.
- 10
- All mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly;
they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.
