New International Version (NIV) |
|
2 Be gracious to me, ADONAI, because I am withering away; heal me, ADONAI, because my bones are shaking;
|
2 Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony.
|
|
3 I am completely terrified; and you, ADONAI - how long?
|
3 My soul is in anguish. How long, O LORD, how long?
|
|
4 Come back, ADONAI, and rescue me! Save me for the sake of your grace;
|
4 Turn, O LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.
|
|
5 for in death, no one remembers you; in Sh'ol, who will praise you?
|
5 No one remembers you when he is dead. Who praises you from the grave ?
|
|
6 I am worn out with groaning; all night I drench my bed with tears, flooding my couch till it swims.
|
6 I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.
|
|
7 My vision is darkened with anger; it grows weak because of all my foes.
|
7 My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.
|
|
8 Get away from me, all you workers of evil! For ADONAI has heard the sound of my weeping,
|
8 Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping.
|
|
9 ADONAI has heard my pleading, ADONAI will accept my prayer.
|
9 The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.
|
|
10 All my enemies will be confounded, completely terrified; they will turn back and be suddenly put to shame.
|
10 All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
