1 Lord, don’t punish me. Don’t correct me when you are so angry.
2 Lord, be kind to me. I am sick and weak. Heal me, Lord! My bones are shaking.
3 I am trembling all over. Lord, how long until you heal me?
4 Lord, come back and make me strong again. Save me because you are so loyal and kind.
5 If I am dead, I cannot sing about you. Those in the grave don’t praise you.
6 Lord, I am so weak. I cried to you all night. My pillow is soaked; my bed is dripping wet from my tears.
7 My enemies have caused me such sorrow that my eyes are worn out from crying.
8 Go away, you wicked people, because the Lord has heard my cries.
9 The Lord has heard my request for mercy. The Lord has accepted my prayer.
