1 O lord, don’t rebuke me in your angeror discipline me in your rage.
2 Have compassion on me, lord, for I am weak.Heal me, lord, for my bones are in agony.
3 I am sick at heart.How long, O lord, until you restore me?
4 Return, O lord, and rescue me.Save me because of your unfailing love.
5 For the dead do not remember you.Who can praise you from the grave?
6 I am worn out from sobbing.All night I flood my bed with weeping,drenching it with my tears.
7 My vision is blurred by grief;my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.
8 Go away, all you who do evil,for the lord has heard my weeping.
9 The lord has heard my plea;the lord will answer my prayer.
10 May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified.May they suddenly turn back in shame.
