| 1O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath. | 1For the choir director: with stringed instruments, according to Sheminith. A Davidic psalm. LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger; do not discipline me in Your wrath. |
| 2Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are troubled. | 2Be gracious to me, LORD, for I am weak; heal me, LORD, for my bones are shaking; |
| 3My soul also is greatly troubled. But you, O LORD—how long? | 3my whole being is shaken with terror. And You, LORD--how long? |
| 4Turn, O LORD, deliver my life; save me for the sake of your steadfast love. | 4Turn, LORD! Rescue me; save me because of Your faithful love. |
| 5For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who will give you praise? | 5For there is no remembrance of You in death; who can thank You in Sheol? |
| 6I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping. | 6I am weary from my groaning; with my tears I dampen my pillow and drench my bed every night. |
| 7My eye wastes away because of grief; it grows weak because of all my foes. | 7My eyes are swollen from grief; they grow old because of all my enemies. |
| 8Depart from me, all you workers of evil, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping. | 8Depart from me, all evildoers, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping. |
| 9The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD accepts my prayer. | 9The LORD has heard my plea for help; the LORD accepts my prayer. |
| 10All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled; they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment. | 10All my enemies will be ashamed and shake with terror; they will turn back and suddenly be disgraced. |
