The Scriptures (ISR 1998) 1O יהוה, do not rebuke me in Your displeasure, Nor discipline me in Your wrath. 2Show favour to me, O יהוה, for I am fading away; O יהוה, heal me, for my bones have been troubled. 3And my being has been greatly troubled; And You, O יהוה – till when? 4Return, O יהוה, rescue my life! Oh, save me for Your kindness’ sake! 5For in death there is no remembrance of You; Who gives You thanks in the grave? 6I have grown weary with my groaning; Every night I flood my bed; I drench my couch with my tears. 7My eye has grown dim because of grief; It grows old because of all my adversaries. 8Depart from me, all you workers of wickedness; For יהוה has heard the voice of my weeping. 9יהוה has heard my pleading; יהוה receives my prayer. 10Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled; They turn back suddenly, ashamed. |
