1. O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger, Nor chasten me in Your wrath.
2. Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am pining away; Heal me, O Lord, for my bones are dismayed.
3. And my soul is greatly dismayed; But You, O Lord-how long?
4. Return, O Lord, rescue my soul; Save me because of Your lovingkindness.
5. For there is no mention of You in death; In Sheol who will give You thanks?
6. I am weary with my sighing; Every night I make my bed swim, I dissolve my couch with my tears.
7. My eye has wasted away with grief; It has become old because of all my adversaries.
