| 1O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath. | 1For the director of music. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith. A psalm of David. LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath. |
| 2Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are troubled. | 2Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint; heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony. |
| 3My soul also is greatly troubled. But you, O LORD—how long? | 3My soul is in deep anguish. How long, LORD, how long? |
| 4Turn, O LORD, deliver my life; save me for the sake of your steadfast love. | 4Turn, LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love. |
| 5For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who will give you praise? | 5Among the dead no one proclaims your name. Who praises you from the grave? |
| 6I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping. | 6I am worn out from my groaning. All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears. |
| 7My eye wastes away because of grief; it grows weak because of all my foes. | 7My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes. |
| 8Depart from me, all you workers of evil, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping. | 8Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping. |
| 9The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD accepts my prayer. | 9The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; 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 overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame. |
