GOD'S WORD Translation GW
1 <<To the chief musician: On Neginoth, upon the eight. A Psalm of David.>> O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger, neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure.
1
O LORD, do not punish me in your anger or discipline me in your rage.
2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am weak; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are vexed.
2
Have pity on me, O LORD, because I am weak. Heal me, O LORD, because my bones shake with terror.
3 My soul is also sore vexed, but Thou, O LORD, how long?
3
My soul has been deeply shaken with terror. But you, O LORD, how long...?
4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul! O save me for Thy mercies' sake!
4
Come back, O LORD. Rescue me. Save me because of your mercy!
5 For in death there is no remembrance of Thee; in the grave who shall give Thee thanks?
5
In death, no one remembers you. In the grave, who praises you?
6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night I make my bed to swim, I water my couch with my tears.
6
I am worn out from my groaning. My eyes flood my bed every night. I soak my couch with tears.
7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
7
My eyes blur from grief. They fail because of my enemies.
8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
8
Get away from me, all you troublemakers, because the LORD has heard the sound of my crying.
9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
9
The LORD has heard my plea for mercy. The LORD accepts my prayer.
10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sorely vexed; let them turn back and be put to shame suddenly.
10
All my enemies will be put to shame and deeply shaken with terror. In a moment they will retreat and be put to shame.
