New King James Version NKJV
New Living Translation NLT
1 To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. On an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David. O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger, Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.
1
O LORD, don’t rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage.
2 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
2
Have compassion on me, LORD, for I am weak. Heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony.
3 My soul also is greatly troubled; But You, O Lord--how long?
3
I am sick at heart. How long, O LORD, until you restore me?
4 Return, O Lord, deliver me! Oh, save me for Your mercies' sake!
4
Return, O LORD, and rescue me. Save me because of your unfailing love.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of You; In the grave who will give You thanks?
5
For the dead do not remember you. Who can praise you from the grave?
6 I am weary with my groaning; All night I make my bed swim; I drench my couch with my tears.
6
I am worn out from sobbing. All night I flood my bed with weeping, drenching it with my tears.
7 My eye wastes away because of grief; It grows old because of all my enemies.
7
My vision is blurred by grief; my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.
8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
8
Go away, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping.
9 The Lord has heard my supplication; The Lord will receive my prayer.
9
The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD will answer my prayer.
10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled; Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.
10
May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified. May they suddenly turn back in shame.
