1For the music director <05329>, to be accompanied by stringed instruments <05058>, according <05921> to the sheminith <08067> style; a psalm <04210> of David <01732>. Lord <03068>, do not <0408> rebuke <03198> me in your anger <0639>! Do not <0408> discipline <03256> me in your raging fury <02534>!
2Have mercy <02603> on me, Lord <03069>, for <03588> I <0589> am frail <0536>! Heal <07495> me, Lord <03069>, for <03588> my bones <06106> are shaking <0926>!
3I <05315> am absolutely <03966> terrified <0926>, and you <0859>, Lord <03068>– how long <04970> long <05704> will this continue?
4Relent <07725>, Lord <03068>, rescue <02502> me <05315>! Deliver <03467> me because of <04616> your faithfulness <02617>!
5For <03588> no <0369> one remembers <02143> you in the realm of death <04194>, In Sheol <07585> who <04310> gives you thanks <03034>?
6I am exhausted <03021> as I groan <0585>; all <03605> night <03915> long I drench <07811> my bed <04296> in tears; my tears <01832> saturate <04529> the cushion <06210> beneath <04529> me.
7My eyes <05869> grow dim <06244> from suffering <03708>; they grow weak <06275> because of all <03605> my enemies <06887>.
8Turn back <05493> from <04480> me, all <03605> you who behave <06466> wickedly <0205>, for <03588> the Lord <03068> has heard <08085> the sound <06963> of my weeping <01065>!
9The Lord <03068> has heard <08085> my appeal for mercy <08467>; the Lord <03068> has accepted <03947> my prayer <08605>.
10May all <03605> my enemies <0341> be humiliated <0954> and absolutely <03966> terrified <0926>! May they turn back <07725> and be suddenly <07281> humiliated <0954>!
