For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, upon the eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm by David.

1 Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your anger,

neither discipline me in your wrath.

2 Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am faint.

Yahweh, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

3 My soul is also in great anguish.

But you, Yahweh—how long?

4 Return, Yahweh. Deliver my soul,

and save me for your loving kindness’ sake.

5 For in death there is no memory of you.

In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?

6 I am weary with my groaning.

Every night I flood my bed.

I drench my couch with my tears.

7 My eye wastes away because of grief.

It grows old because of all my adversaries.

8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity,

for Yahweh has heard the voice of my weeping.

9 Yahweh has heard my supplication.

Yahweh accepts my prayer.

10 May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed.

They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.

1 耶和华啊! 求你不要在烈怒中责备我, 也不要在气忿中管教我。

2 耶和华啊! 求你恩待我, 因为我软弱; 耶和华啊! 求你医治我, 因为我的骨头发抖。

3 我的心也大大战栗, 耶和华啊! 要等到几时呢?

4 耶和华啊! 求你回转搭救我, 因你慈爱的缘故拯救我。

5 因为在死亡之地无人记念你, 在阴间有谁称谢你呢?

6 我因悲叹而疲惫, 我夜夜流泪, 把床漂起, 把床榻浸透。

7 我因愁烦眼目昏花, 因众多的仇敌视力衰退。

8 你们所有作恶的人, 离开我去吧, 因为耶和华听了我哀哭的声音。

9 耶和华听了我的恳求, 耶和华必接纳我的祷告。

10 我所有的仇敌都必蒙羞, 大大惊惶; 眨眼之间, 他们必蒙羞后退。
