1 Lord, don’t rebuke me in your anger,neither discipline me in your wrath.
2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint.Lord, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3 My soul is also in great anguish.But you, Lord—how long?
4 Return, Lord. Deliver my soul,and save me for your loving kindness’ sake.
5 For in death there is no memory of you.In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?
6 I am weary with my groaning.Every night I flood my bed.I drench my couch with my tears.
7 My eye wastes away because of grief.It grows old because of all my adversaries.
