1
To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. On an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David. O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger, Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.
2
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3
My soul also is greatly troubled; But You, O Lord--how long?
4
Return, O Lord, deliver me! Oh, save me for Your mercies' sake!
5
For in death there is no remembrance of You; In the grave who will give You thanks?
6
I am weary with my groaning; All night I make my bed swim; I drench my couch with my tears.
