Common English Bible CEB
English Standard Version ESV
1 Please, LORD, don't punish me when you are angry; don't discipline me when you are furious.
1
O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger, nor 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
Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing; heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.
3 My whole body is completely terrified! But you, LORD! How long will this last?
3
My soul also is greatly troubled. But you, O Lord— how long?
4 Come back to me, LORD! Deliver me! Save me for the sake of your faithful love!
4
Turn, O Lord, deliver my life; save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
5 No one is going to praise you when they are dead. Who gives you thanks from the grave?
5
For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who will give you praise?
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 weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping.
7 My vision fails because of my grief; it's weak because of all my distress.
7
My eye wastes away because of grief; it grows weak because of all my foes.
8 Get away from me, all you evildoers, because the LORD has heard me crying!
8
Depart from me, all you workers of evil, for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 The LORD has listened to my request. The LORD accepts my prayer.
9
The Lord has heard my plea; 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 shall be ashamed and greatly troubled; they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
