VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ For the music director; with stringed instruments, on the Sheminith. A psalm of David. O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger, and do not discipline me in your wrath. ² Be merciful to me, the LORD, for I am faint. O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony. ³ I am in anguish. How long, O LORD, how long? ⁴ Return, O LORD, and deliver me. Save me because of your unfailing love. ⁵ No one remembers you when he is dead. Who praises you from the grave? ⁶ I am worn out from groaning. All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears. ⁷ My eyes grow weak with sorrow. I am weak because of all my foes. ⁸ Depart from me, all you who do evil. the LORD hears my weeping. ⁹ the LORD has heard my supplication. the LORD accepts my prayer. ¹⁰ All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed. They will turn back in sudden disgrace.
