Good News Translation GNT
Revised Standard Version RSV
1 Lord, don't be angry and rebuke me! Don't punish me in your anger!
1
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy anger, nor chasten me in thy wrath.
2 I am worn out, O Lord; have pity on me! Give me strength; I am completely exhausted
2
Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3 and my whole being is deeply troubled. How long, O Lord, will you wait to help me?
3
My soul also is sorely troubled. But thou, O LORD--how long?
4 Come and save me, Lord; in your mercy rescue me from death.
4
Turn, O LORD, save my life; deliver me for the sake of thy steadfast love.
5 In the world of the dead you are not remembered; no one can praise you there.
5
For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who can give thee praise?
6 I am worn out with grief; every night my bed is damp from my weeping; my pillow is soaked with tears.
6
I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping.
7 I can hardly see; my eyes are so swollen from the weeping caused by my enemies.
7
My eye wastes away because of grief, it grows weak because of all my foes.
8 Keep away from me, you evil people! The Lord hears my weeping;
8
Depart from me, all you workers of evil; for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 he listens to my cry for help and will answer my prayer.
9
The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD accepts my prayer.
10 My enemies will know the bitter shame of defeat; in sudden confusion they will be driven away.
10
All my enemies shall be ashamed and sorely troubled; they shall turn back, and be put to shame in a moment.
