1 Be gracious, LORD, rebuke me not in wrath,
Nor in Your anger, for I waste away;
My bones, my soul are troubled--heal me, LORD!
How long, O LORD, how long will You delay:?
2 O LORD, return to liberate my soul!
And for Your steadfast love come now to save!
For no one will remember You in death,
And who will glorify You in the grave?
3 I have grown weary with my sighs and moans;
I cry and flood my bed with tears each night.
Due to my grief and all my enemies,
My weeping eyes grow weak and lost their sight.
4 The LORD has heard, the LORD has heard my cries;
All evildoers, go, depart from me!
The LORD receives each prayer I make to Him.
Troubled and shamed, foes leave suddenly.
