¹ LORD, don't be angry and rebuke me! Don't punish me in your anger! ² I am worn out, O LORD; have pity on me! Give me strength; I am completely exhausted ³ and my whole being is deeply troubled. How long, O LORD, will you wait to help me? ⁴ Come and save me, LORD; in your mercy rescue me from death. ⁵ In the world of the dead you are not remembered; no one can praise you there. ⁶ I am worn out with grief; every night my bed is damp from my weeping; my pillow is soaked with tears. ⁷ I can hardly see; my eyes are so swollen from the weeping caused by my enemies. ⁸ Keep away from me, you evil people! The LORD hears my weeping; ⁹ he listens to my cry for help and will answer my prayer. ¹⁰ My enemies will know the bitter shame of defeat; in sudden confusion they will be driven away.
