Do Not Rebuke Me in Your Anger
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments, according to Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
1O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your angeror discipline me in Your wrath. 2Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am frail;heal me, O LORD, for my bones are in agony. 3My soul is deeply distressed.How long, O LORD, how long?
4Turn, O LORD, and deliver my soul;save me because of Your loving devotion. 5For there is no mention of You in death;who can praise You from Sheol?
6I am weary from groaning;all night I flood my bed with weepingand drench my couch with tears. 7My eyes fail from grief;they grow dim because of all my foes.
8Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity,for the LORD has heard my weeping. 9The LORD has heard my cry for mercy;the LORD accepts my prayer. 10All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed;they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
