1 {\b For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.}\par\par\tab O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger,\par\tab Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 2 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away:\par\tab O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled. 3 My soul also is sore troubled:\par\tab And thou, O Jehovah, how long? 4 Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul:\par\tab Save me for thy lovingkindness' sake. 5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee:\par\tab In Sheol who shall give thee thanks? 6 I am weary with my groaning;\par\tab Every night make I my bed to swim;\par\tab I water my couch with my tears. 7 Mine eye wasteth away because of grief;\par\tab It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries. 8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;\par\tab For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping. 9 Jehovah hath heard my supplication;\par\tab Jehovah will receive my prayer. 10 All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled:\par\tab They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly.\par |
