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