To the chief Musician on Neginoth
upon Sheminith
, A Psalm
of David
. O LORD
, rebuke
me not in thine anger
, neither chasten
me in thy hot displeasure
.
Have mercy upon me, O LORD
; for I am weak
: O LORD
, heal
me; for my bones
are vexed
.
My soul is also sore
vexed
: but thou, O LORD
, how long?
Return, O LORD
, deliver
my soul
: oh save
me for thy mercies
' sake.
For in death there is no remembrance
of thee: in the grave
who shall give thee thanks
?
I am weary with my groaning
; all the night
make I my bed
to swim
; I water
my couch
with my tears
.
Mine eye is consumed
because of grief
; it waxeth old
because of all mine enemies
.
Depart from me, all ye workers
of iniquity
; for the LORD
hath heard
the voice
of my weeping
.
The LORD hath heard
my supplication
; the LORD
will receive
my prayer
.
Let all mine enemies be ashamed
and sore
vexed
: let them return
and be ashamed
suddenly
.
