1For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments, according to the sheminith style; a psalm of David. LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger! Do not discipline me in your raging fury! | 1LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger; do not discipline me in your wrath. |
2Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am frail! Heal me, LORD, for my bones are shaking! | 2Be gracious to me, LORD, for I am weak; heal me, LORD, for my bones are shaking; |
3I am absolutely terrified, and you, LORD--how long will this continue? | 3my whole being is shaken with terror. And you, LORD--how long? |
4Relent, LORD, rescue me! Deliver me because of your faithfulness! | 4Turn, LORD! Rescue me; save me because of your faithful love. |
5For no one remembers you in the realm of death, In Sheol who gives you thanks? | 5For there is no remembrance of you in death; who can thank you in Sheol? |
6I am exhausted as I groan; all night long I drench my bed in tears; my tears saturate the cushion beneath me. | 6I am weary from my groaning; with my tears I dampen my bed and drench my couch every night. |
7My eyes grow dim from suffering; they grow weak because of all my enemies. | 7My eyes are swollen from grief; they grow old because of all my enemies. |
8Turn back from me, all you who behave wickedly, 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 appeal for mercy; the LORD has accepted my prayer. | 9The LORD has heard my plea for help; the LORD accepts my prayer. |
10May all my enemies be humiliated and absolutely terrified! May they turn back and be suddenly humiliated! | 10All my enemies will be ashamed and shake with terror; they will turn back and suddenly be disgraced. |
