[1] O Lord, don’t rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage.
[2] Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.
[3] I am sick at heart. How long, O Lord, until you restore me?
[4] Return, O Lord, and rescue me. Save me because of your unfailing love.
[5] For the dead do not remember you. Who can praise you from the grave?
[6] I am worn out from sobbing. All night I flood my bed with weeping, drenching it with my tears.
[7] My vision is blurred by grief; my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.
[8] Go away, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weeping.
[9] The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord will answer my prayer.
[10] May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified. May they suddenly turn back in shame.
