¹To the chief musician, for eight-stringed instruments. A Psalm of David O Jehovah, do not rebuke me in Your anger; nor chasten me in the heat of Your fury; ²have mercy on me, O Jehovah, for I am weak; heal me, O Jehovah, for my bones are troubled. ³My soul also is greatly troubled and You, O Jehovah, until when? ⁴O Jehovah, return, deliver my soul; save me for Your mercy's sake. ⁵For there is no memory of You in death; who shall give thanks to You in Sheol? ⁶I am weary in my groaning; I shall make by bed swim in all the night; I melt my couch with my tears. ⁷My eye is dim because of grief; it wastes away because of all my vexers. ⁸Depart from me, all workers of iniquity, for Jehovah has heard the voice of my weeping. ⁹Jehovah has heard my plea; Jehovah will receive my prayer. ¹⁰Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled; they shall turn back, ashamed in a moment.
