1 To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are troubled.3 My soul is also greatly troubled: but you, O LORD, how long?4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for your mercies' sake.5 For in death there is no remembrance of you: in the grave who shall give you thanks?6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed wet with tears; I water my couch with my tears.7 My eye is consumed because of grief; it grows old because of all my enemies.8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.9 The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
