| New American Standard Bible 1995 | English Standard Version |
| 1For the choir director; with stringed instruments, upon an eight-string lyre. A Psalm of David. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger, Nor chasten me in Your wrath. | 1O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath. |
| 2Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am pining away; Heal me, O LORD, for my bones are dismayed. | 2Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are troubled. |
| 3And my soul is greatly dismayed; But You, O LORD-- how long? | 3My soul also is greatly troubled. But you, O LORD—how long? |
| 4Return, O LORD, rescue my soul; Save me because of Your lovingkindness. | 4Turn, O LORD, deliver my life; save me for the sake of your steadfast love. |
| 5For there is no mention of You in death; In Sheol who will give You thanks? | 5For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who will give you praise? |
| 6I am weary with my sighing; Every night I make my bed swim, I dissolve my couch with my tears. | 6I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping. |
| 7My eye has wasted away with grief; It has become old because of all my adversaries. | 7My eye wastes away because of grief; it grows weak because of all my foes. |
| 8Depart from me, all you who do iniquity, For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping. | 8Depart from me, all you workers of evil, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping. |
| 9The LORD has heard my supplication, The LORD receives my prayer. | 9The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD accepts my prayer. |
| 10All my enemies will be ashamed and greatly dismayed; They shall turn back, they will suddenly be ashamed. | 10All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled; they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment. |
