1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments, on the octave. -- A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.
|
1 O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
|
|
2 Favour me, O Jehovah, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,
|
2 Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony.
|
|
3 And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?
|
3 My soul is in anguish. How long, O LORD, how long?
|
|
4 Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.
|
4 Turn, O LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.
|
|
5 For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee?
|
5 No one remembers you when he is dead. Who praises you from the grave ?
|
|
6 I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night [on] my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.
|
6 I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.
|
|
7 Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,
|
7 My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.
|
|
8 Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,
|
8 Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping.
|
|
9 Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.
|
9 The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.
|
|
10 Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back -- ashamed [in] a moment!
|
10 All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
