To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. On an eight-stringed harp. [fn] A Psalm of David. O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger,Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.

O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath, neither chasten me in thine anger.

Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am weak; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.

My soul also is greatly troubled; But You, O LORD--how long?

My soul also is grievously vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?

Return, O LORD, deliver me! Oh, save me for Your mercies' sake!

Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for thy mercy’s sake.

For in death there is no remembrance of You; In the grave who will give You thanks?

For in death no man remembers thee: and who will give thee thanks in Hades?

I am weary with my groaning; All night I make my bed swim; I drench my couch with my tears.

I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with tears.

My eye wastes away because of grief; It grows old because of all my enemies.

Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

Depart from me, all ye that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

The LORD has heard my supplication; The LORD will receive my prayer.

The Lord has hearkened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.

Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled; Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.

Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.
