1 For the choir director: with stringed instruments, according to . A psalm of David. LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger; do not discipline me in your wrath.
2 Be gracious to me, LORD, for I am weak; heal me, LORD, for my bones are shaking;
3 my whole being is shaken with terror. And you, LORD — how long?
4 Turn, LORD! Rescue me; save me because of your faithful love.
5 For there is no remembrance of you in death; who can thank you in Sheol?
6 I am weary from my groaning; with my tears I dampen my bed and drench my couch every night.
7 My eyes are swollen from grief; they grow old because of all my enemies.
8 Depart from me, all evildoers, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 The LORD has heard my plea for help; the LORD accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies will be ashamed and shake with terror; they will turn back and suddenly be disgraced.
