The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New International Version NIV
1 For the leader. With stringed instruments. On sh'minit [low-pitched musical instruments?]. A psalm of David: ADONAI, don't rebuke me in your anger, don't discipline me in the heat of your fury.
1
LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
2 Be gracious to me, ADONAI, because I am withering away; heal me, ADONAI, because my bones are shaking;
2
Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint; heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony.
3 I am completely terrified; and you, ADONAI - how long?
3
My soul is in deep anguish. How long, LORD, how long?
4 Come back, ADONAI, and rescue me! Save me for the sake of your grace;
4
Turn, 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
Among the dead no one proclaims your name. 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 my 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 overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
