For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, upon the eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm by David.

1 O LORD, don`t rebuke me in your anger, Neither discipline me in your wrath.

2 Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am faint. The LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

3 My soul is also in great anguish. But you, O LORD -- how long?

4 Return, O LORD. Deliver my soul, and save me for your lovingkindness` 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.

8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, For The LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

9 The LORD has heard my supplication. The LORD will receive my prayer.

10 May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.
