5 Turn toward me, Adonai, deliver my soul! Save me—because of Your mercy.
6 For there is no memory of You in death, in Sheol who will praise You?
7 I am worn out with my groaning. Every night I make my bed swim, drenching my pillow with my tears.
8 My eyes are weakened with grief— they age because of my enemies.
9 Away from me, all you evildoers! For Adonai heard the sound of my weeping.
10 Adonai has heard my cry for mercy. Adonai accepts my prayer:
11 “May all my enemies be ashamed, and stricken with terror. May they turn back in sudden disgrace.”
