1O LORD, don’t rebuke me in your angeror discipline me in your rage.

2Have compassion on me, LORD, for I am weak.Heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony.

3I am sick at heart.How long, O LORD, until you restore me?

4Return, O LORD, and rescue me.Save me because of your unfailing love.

5For the dead do not remember you.Who can praise you from the grave?

6I am worn out from sobbing.All night I flood my bed with weeping,drenching it with my tears.

7My vision is blurred by grief;my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.

8Go away, all you who do evil,for the LORD has heard my weeping.

9The LORD has heard my plea;the LORD will answer my prayer.

10May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified.May they suddenly turn back in shame.
