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! | 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. |
2Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am frail! Heal me, LORD, for my bones are shaking! | 2Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am pining away; Heal me, O LORD, for my bones are dismayed. |
3I am absolutely terrified, and you, LORD--how long will this continue? | 3And my soul is greatly dismayed; But You, O LORD-- how long? |
4Relent, LORD, rescue me! Deliver me because of your faithfulness! | 4Return, O LORD, rescue my soul; Save me because of Your lovingkindness. |
5For no one remembers you in the realm of death, In Sheol who gives you thanks? | 5For there is no mention of You in death; In Sheol who will give You thanks? |
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 with my sighing; Every night I make my bed swim, I dissolve my couch with my tears. |
7My eyes grow dim from suffering; they grow weak because of all my enemies. | 7My eye has wasted away with grief; It has become old because of all my adversaries. |
8Turn back from me, all you who behave wickedly, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping! | 8Depart from me, all you who do iniquity, For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping. |
9The LORD has heard my appeal for mercy; the LORD has accepted my prayer. | 9The LORD has heard my supplication, The LORD receives 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 greatly dismayed; They shall turn back, they will suddenly be ashamed. |
