For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by an eight-stringed instrument.
1 OLord, don’t rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your rage.
2 Have compassion on me,Lord, for I am weak.
Heal me,Lord, for my bones are in agony.
3 I am sick at heart.
How long, OLord, until you restore me?
4 Return, OLord, and rescue me.
Save me because of your unfailing love.
5 For the dead do not remember you.
Who can praise you from the grave?
6 I am worn out from sobbing.
All night I flood my bed with weeping,
drenching it with my tears.
7 My vision is blurred by grief;
my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.
8 Go away, all you who do evil,
for theLordhas heard my weeping.
9 TheLordhas heard my plea;
theLordwill answer my prayer.
10 May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified.
May they suddenly turn back in shame.
