To the chief musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, a psalm of David
1
O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger; neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2
Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am weak; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are vexed.
3
My soul is also sore vexed. But thou, O Lord, how long?
4
Return, O Lord; deliver my soul; oh, save me for thy mercies' sake.
5
For in death there is no remembrance of thee. In the grave who shall give thee thanks?
6
I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7
Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
8
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9
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.
