To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.
1
O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger,Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak:O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3
My soul is also sore vexed:But thou, O LORD, how long?
4
Return, O LORD, deliver my soul:Oh save me for thy mercies' sake.
5
For in death there is no remembrance of thee:In the grave who shall give thee thanks?
6
I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim;I water my couch with my tears.
7
Mine eye is consumed because of grief;It waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
8
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;For the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9
The LORD hath heard my supplication;The LORD will receive my prayer.
10
Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed:Let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
