v1

O Yahweh, do not rebuke me in your anger, and do not discipline me in your wrath.

v2

Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, because I am feeble. Heal me, O Yahweh, for my bones are terrified.

v3

My soul is also very terrified. But you, O Yahweh, how long?

v4

Turn, O Yahweh; deliver my life. ^[Or “my soul”; same word as in v. 3] Save me for the sake of your steadfast love. ^[Or “loyal love”]

v5

For there is no remembrance of you in death. In Sheol, who will give thanks to you?

v6

I am weary with my groaning; I flood ^[Literally “I make my bed float”] my bed every night. With my tears I drench ^[Literally “I cause to melt”] my couch.

v7

My eye wastes away because of vexation; it grows old because of all my oppressors.

v8

Depart from me, all workers of evil, for Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping.

v9

Yahweh has heard my plea; Yahweh has accepted my prayer.

v10

All my enemies shall be ashamed and shall be very terrified. They shall turn back; they shall suddenly be ashamed.
