A Prayer for Help in Time of Troubleh
6 * Lord, don’t be angry and rebuke me!
Don’t punish me in your anger!
2 I am worn out, O Lord; have pity on me!
Give me strength; I am completely exhausted
3 and my whole being is deeply troubled.
How long, O Lord, will you wait to help me?
in your mercy rescue me from death.
5 In the world of the dead you are not remembered; no one can praise you there.
every night my bed is damp from my weeping;
my pillow is soaked with tears.
my eyes are so swollen
from the weeping caused by my enemies.
8* Keep away from me, you evil people!
The Lord hears my weeping;
9 he listens to my cry for help
and will answer my prayer.
10 My enemies will know the bitter shame of defeat;
in sudden confusion they will be driven away.
