[1] O LORD, do not punish me in your anger or discipline me in your rage. [2] Have pity on me, O LORD, because I am weak. Heal me, O LORD, because my bones shake with terror. [3] My soul has been deeply shaken with terror. But you, O LORD, how long. . .? [4] Come back, O LORD. Rescue me. Save me because of your mercy! [5] In death, no one remembers you. In the grave, who praises you? [6] I am worn out from my groaning. My eyes flood my bed every night. I soak my couch with tears. [7] My eyes blur from grief. They fail because of my enemies. [8] Get away from me, all you troublemakers, because the LORD has heard the sound of my crying. [9] The LORD has heard my plea for mercy. The LORD accepts my prayer. [10] All my enemies will be put to shame and deeply shaken with terror. In a moment they will retreat and be put to shame.
