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.

1 To the chief music-maker on corded instruments, on the Sheminith. A Psalm. Of David.

2 \6:1\O Lord, do not be bitter with me in your wrath; do not send punishment on me in the heat of your passion.

3 \6:2\Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am wasted away: make me well, for even my bones are troubled.

4 \6:3\My soul is in bitter trouble; and you, O Lord, how long?

5 \6:4\Come back, O Lord, make my soul free; O give me salvation because of your mercy.

6 \6:5\For in death there is no memory of you; in the underworld who will give you praise?

7 \6:6\The voice of my sorrow is a weariness to me; all the night I make my bed wet with weeping; it is watered by the drops flowing from my eyes.

8 \6:7\My eyes are wasting away with trouble; they are becoming old because of all those who are against me.

9 \6:8\Go from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has given ear to the voice of my weeping.

10 \6:9\The Lord has given ear to my request; the Lord has let my prayer come before him.

11 \6:10\Let all those who are against me be shamed and deeply troubled; let them be turned back and suddenly put to shame.
