1 O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me 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.
3 My soul also is sore vexed: and thou, O Lord, how long?
4 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for thy lovingkindness' sake.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in Sheol who shall give thee thanks?
6 I am weary with my groaning; every night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
