Dual Panel1 For the director of music. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith. A psalm of David. O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
2Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony.
3My soul is in anguish. How long, O LORD, how long?
4Turn, O LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.
5No-one remembers you when he is dead. Who praises you from his grave?
6I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.
7My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.
8Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping.
9The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.
10All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
