[1] O Eternal One, don't punish me in Your anger or harshly correct me. [2] Show me grace, Eternal God. I am completely undone. Bring me back together, Eternal One. Mend my shattered bones. [3] My soul is drowning in darkness. How long can You, the Eternal, let things go on like this? [4] Come back, Eternal One, and lead me to Your saving light. Rescue me because I know You are truly compassionate. [5] I'm alive for a reason-I can't worship You if I'm dead. If I'm six feet under, how can I thank You? [6] I'm exhausted. I cannot even speak, my voice fading as sighs. Every day ends in the same place-lying in bed, covered in tears, my pillow wet with sorrow. [7] My eyes burn, devoured with grief; they grow weak as I constantly watch for my enemies. [8] All who are evil, stay away from me because the Eternal hears my voice, listens as I cry. [9] The Eternal God hears my simple prayers; He receives my request. [10] All who seek to destroy me will be humiliated; they will turn away and suddenly crumble in shame.
