1 Don't punish me, Lord,or even correct mewhen you are angry!
2 Have pity on me and healmy feeble body.My bones tremble with fear,
3 and I am in deep distress.How long will it be?
4 Turn and come to my rescue.Show your wonderful loveand save me, Lord.
5 If I die, I cannot praise youor even remember you.
6 My groaning has worn me out.At night my bed and pilloware soaked with tears.
7 Sorrow has made my eyes dim,and my sight has failedbecause of my enemies.
8 You, Lord, heard my crying,and those hateful peoplehad better leave me alone.
9 You have answered my prayerand my plea for mercy.
10 My enemies will be ashamedand terrified,as they quickly run awayin complete disgrace.
