(0) For the leader. With stringed instruments. On sh’minit [low-pitched musical instruments?]. A psalm of David:

(1) Adonai, don’t rebuke me in your anger,
don’t discipline me in the heat of your fury.
(2) Be gracious to me, Adonai,
because I am withering away;
heal me, Adonai,
because my bones are shaking;
(3) I am completely terrified;
and you, Adonai — how long?
(4) Come back, Adonai, and rescue me!
Save me for the sake of your grace;
(5) for in death, no one remembers you;
in Sh’ol, who will praise you?

(6) I am worn out with groaning;
all night I drench my bed with tears,
flooding my couch till it swims.
(7) My vision is darkened with anger;
it grows weak because of all my foes.

(8) Get away from me, all you workers of evil!
For Adonai has heard the sound of my weeping,
10 (9) Adonai has heard my pleading,
Adonai will accept my prayer.
11 (10) All my enemies will be confounded,
completely terrified;
they will turn back
and be suddenly put to shame.

O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

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

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

Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

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

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

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

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

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.
