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