1To the Chief Musician, for eight-stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in Your anger, nor chasten me in the heat of Your fury. 2Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I [am] weak; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled. 3My soul also is exceedingly troubled; but You, O LORD, how long? 4Return, O LORD, return; deliver my soul; save me for Your mercy's sake. 5For in death [there is] no memory of You; in the grave who shall give You thanks? 6I am weary in my groaning; all the night I make my bed swim; I melt my couch with my tears. 7My eye is dim because of grief; it wastes away because of all my enemies. 8Depart from me, all workers of iniquity; for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping. 9The LORD has heard my cry; the LORD will receive my prayer. 10Let all my enemies be ashamed and exceedingly troubled; let them turn back [and] be ashamed in a moment.
