For the director of music. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith. A psalm of David.

     1             Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger

         or discipline me in your wrath.

     2             Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint;

         heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.

     3             My soul is in deep anguish.

         How long, Lord, how long?

     4             Turn, Lord, and deliver me;

         save me because of your unfailing love.

     5             Among the dead no one proclaims your name.

         Who praises you from the grave?

     6             I am worn out from my groaning.

                  All night long I flood my bed with weeping

         and drench my couch with tears.

     7             My eyes grow weak with sorrow;

         they fail because of all my foes.

     8             Away from me, all you who do evil,

         for the Lord has heard my weeping.

     9             The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;

         the Lord accepts my prayer.

     10            All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish;

         they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
