              1 Please, LORD, don't punish me when you are angry; don't discipline me when you are furious.
            
            
                1
LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.            
            
              2 Have mercy on me, LORD, because I'm frail. Heal me, LORD, because my bones are shaking in terror!
            
            
                2
Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint; heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony.            
            
              3 My whole body is completely terrified! But you, LORD! How long will this last?
            
            
                3
My soul is in deep anguish. How long, LORD, how long?            
            
              4 Come back to me, LORD! Deliver me! Save me for the sake of your faithful love!
            
            
                4
Turn, LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.            
            
              5 No one is going to praise you when they are dead. Who gives you thanks from the grave?
            
            
                5
Among the dead no one proclaims your name. Who praises you from the grave?            
            
              6 I'm worn out from groaning. Every night, I drench my bed with tears; I soak my couch all the way through.
            
            
                6
I am worn out from my groaning. All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.            
            
              7 My vision fails because of my grief; it's weak because of all my distress.
            
            
                7
My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.            
            
              8 Get away from me, all you evildoers, because the LORD has heard me crying!
            
            
                8
Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping.            
            
              9 The LORD has listened to my request. The LORD accepts my prayer.
            
            
                9
The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.            
            
              10 All my enemies will be ashamed and completely terrified; they will be defeated and ashamed instantly.
            
            
                10
All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
