1 LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger;
do not punish me in your wrath.
2 Have pity on me, LORD, for I am weak;
heal me, LORD, for my bones are racked.
3 My spirit shakes with terror;
how long, O LORD, how long?
4 Turn, O LORD, and deliver me;
save me for your mercy's sake.
5 For in death no one remembers you;
and who will give you thanks in the grave?
6 I grow weary because of my groaning;
every night I drench my bed and flood my couch with tears.
7 My eyes are wasted with grief
and worn away because of all my enemies.
8 Depart from me, all evildoers,
for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 The LORD has heard my supplication;
the LORD accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies shall be confounded and quake with fear;
they shall turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
