^1 (a)Lord, don't be angry and rebuke me!
    Don't punish me in your anger!
² I am worn out, O Lord; have pity on me!
    Give me strength; I am completely exhausted
³     and my whole being is deeply troubled.
How long, O Lord, will you wait to help me?

⁴ Come and save me, Lord;
    in your mercy rescue me from death.
⁵ In the world of the dead you are not remembered;
    no one can praise you there.

⁶ I am worn out with grief;
    every night my bed is damp from my weeping;
    my pillow is soaked with tears.
⁷ I can hardly see;
    my eyes are so swollen
    from the weeping caused by my enemies.

^8 (b)Keep away from me, you evil people!
The Lord hears my weeping;
⁹     he listens to my cry for help
    and will answer my prayer.
¹⁰ My enemies will know the bitter shame of defeat;
    in sudden confusion they will be driven away.
