¹ Lord, don't correct me when you are angry. Don't punish me when you are burning with anger. ² Lord, have mercy on me. I'm so weak. Lord, heal me. My body is full of pain. ³ My soul is very troubled. Lord, how long will it be until you save me? ⁴ Lord, turn to me and help me. Save me. Your love never fails. ⁵ People can't remember you when they are dead. How can they praise you when they are in the grave? ⁶ My groaning has worn me out. All night long my tears flood my bed. My bed is wet because of my crying. ⁷ I'm so sad I can't see very well. My eyesight gets worse because of all of my enemies. ⁸ Get away from me, all of you who do evil. The Lord has heard my sobbing. ⁹ The Lord has heard my cry for his favor. The Lord accepts my prayer. ¹⁰ All of my enemies will be troubled and put to shame. They will turn back in dishonor. It will happen suddenly.
