6
1
Yahweh, do not rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your wrath.
2
Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am frail;
heal me, Yahweh, for my bones are shaking.
3
My soul also is very troubled.
But you, Yahweh—how long will this continue?
4
Return, Yahweh! rescue me.
Save me because of your covenant faithfulness!
5
For in death there is no remembrance of you.
In Sheol who will give you thanks?
6
I am weary with my groaning.
All night I drench my bed with tears;
I dissolve my couch with my tears.
7
My eyes grow dim from grief;
they grow weak because of all my adversaries.
8
Get away from me, all you who behave wickedly;
for Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping.
9
Yahweh has heard my appeal for mercy;
Yahweh has accepted my prayer.
10
All my enemies will be ashamed and greatly troubled.
They will turn back and be suddenly humiliated.
