1To the Chanter in Neginoth upon Sheminith, a Psalm of David. Oh LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger: Oh chasten me not in thy heavy displeasure.
2Have mercy upon me (O LORD) for I am weak: O LORD heal me, for all my bones are vexed.
3My soul also is in great trouble, but LORD, how long?
4Turn thee (O LORD) and deliver my soul: Oh save me for thy mercies' sake.
5For in death no man remembereth thee: Oh who will give thee thanks in the hell?
6I am weary of groaning: every night wash I my bed, and water my couch with my tears.
7My countenance is changed for very inward grief, I consume away, I have so many enemies.
8Away from me all ye wicked doers, for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9The LORD hath heard my humble petition, the LORD hath received my prayer.
10All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed: yea they shall be turned back and put to shame, and that right soon.
