For the choir director: with stringed instruments, according to * Sheminith. z A Davidic psalm.
1 Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger;
do not discipline me in Your wrath. a
2 Be gracious to me, Lord, for I am weak; b c
heal me, d Lord, for my bones are shaking; e
3 my whole being is shaken with terror. f
And You, Lord—how long? g
save me because of Your faithful love. h
5 For there is no remembrance of You in death;
who can thank You in * Sheol? i
6 I am weary from my groaning; j
with my tears I dampen my pillow k
and drench my bed every night. l
7 My eyes are swollen from grief; m
they n grow old because of all my enemies.
8 Depart from me, all evildoers,
for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping. o
9 The Lord has heard my plea for help; p
the Lord accepts my prayer. q
