To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments, upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, and chasten me not in thy hot displeasure.
2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am withered away: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am withered; Jehovah, heal me, for my bones tremble.
3 My soul also is sore vexed: and thou, O LORD, how long?
And my soul trembleth exceedingly: and thou, Jehovah, till how long?
4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: save me for thy lovingkindness’ sake.
Return, Jehovah, free my soul; save me for thy loving-kindness' sake.
For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who shall give thanks unto thee? (Sheol h7585)
6 I am weary with my groaning; every night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
I am wearied with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I dissolve my couch with my tears.
7 Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.
Mine eye wasteth away through grief; it hath grown old because of all mine oppressors.
8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

10 All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore vexed: they shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.
All mine enemies shall be ashamed and tremble exceedingly; they will turn, they will be ashamed suddenly.
