1For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O Yahweh, don't rebuke me in your anger, Neither chasten me in your hot displeasure. 2Have mercy on me, O Yahweh; for I am withered away: Heal me, O Yahweh; for my bones are troubled. 3My soul also is intensely troubled: And you, O Yahweh, how long? 4Return, O Yahweh, deliver my soul: Save me for your loving-kindness' sake. 5For in death there is no remembrance of you: In Sheol who will give you thanks? 6I am weary with my groaning; Every night I make my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. 7My eye wastes away because of grief; It waxes old because of all my adversaries. 8Depart from me, all you{+} workers of iniquity; For Yahweh has heard the voice of my weeping. 9Yahweh has heard my supplication; Yahweh will receive my prayer. 10All my enemies will be put to shame and intensely troubled: They will turn back, they will be put to shame suddenly.
