¹ (A psalm by David for the music leader. Use stringed instruments.) Don't punish me, LORD, or even correct me when you are angry! ² Have pity on me and heal my feeble body. My bones tremble with fear, ³ and I am in deep distress. How long will it be? ⁴ Turn and come to my rescue. Show your wonderful love and save me, LORD. ⁵ If I die, I cannot praise you or even remember you. ⁶ My groaning has worn me out. At night my bed and pillow are soaked with tears. ⁷ Sorrow has made my eyes dim, and my sight has failed because of my enemies. ⁸ You, LORD, heard my crying, and those hateful people had better leave me alone. ⁹ You have answered my prayer and my plea for mercy. ¹⁰ My enemies will be ashamed and terrified, as they quickly run away in complete disgrace.
