To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.

1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.*6.1 chief…: or, overseer*6.1 Sheminith: or, the eighth

2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.

5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.*6.6 all…: or, every night

7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

大卫的诗，交给诗班长，用丝弦的乐器伴奏，调用"舍明尼"。 1 耶和华啊！求你不要在烈怒中责备我，

也不要在气忿中管教我。

2 耶和华啊！求你恩待我，因为我软弱；

耶和华啊！求你医治我，因为我的骨头发抖。

3 我的心也大大战栗，

耶和华啊！要等到几时呢？

4 耶和华啊！求你回转搭救我，

因你慈爱的缘故拯救我。

5 因为在死亡之地无人记念你，

在阴间有谁称谢你呢？

6 我因悲叹而疲惫，

我夜夜流泪，把床漂起，

把床榻浸透。

7 我因愁烦眼目昏花，

因众多的仇敌视力衰退。

8 你们所有作恶的人，离开我去吧，

因为耶和华听了我哀哭的声音。

9 耶和华听了我的恳求，

耶和华必接纳我的祷告。

10 我所有的仇敌都必蒙羞，大大惊惶；

眨眼之间，他们必蒙羞后退。
