1
O Lord , don’t rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your rage.
2
Have compassion on me, Lord , for I am weak.
Heal me, Lord , for my bones are in agony.
3
I am sick at heart.
How long, O Lord , until you restore me?
4
Return, O Lord , and rescue me.
Save me because of your unfailing love.
5
For the dead do not remember you.
Who can praise you from the grave? 2
6
I am worn out from sobbing.
All night I flood my bed with weeping,
drenching it with my tears.
7
My vision is blurred by grief;
my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.
8
Go away, all you who do evil,
for the Lord has heard my weeping.
9
The Lord has heard my plea;
the Lord will answer my prayer.
10
May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified.
May they suddenly turn back in shame.
