For the music leader, with stringed instruments, a psalm of David.

יהוה, do not rebuke me in your anger, and do not discipline me in your wrath.

Be gracious to me, יהוה, for I am weak; heal me, יהוה, for my bones are terrified.

And my soul is terrified greatly; and you, יהוה, until when?

Return, יהוה, rescue my soul; save me because of your mercy.

For there is no remembrance of you in death; in Sheol, who will thank you?

I am weary from my groaning; I soak my bed every night; I drench my couch with my tears.

My eye has grown dim from grief; it has become old because of all my oppressors.

Turn away from me, all you workers of iniquity, for יהוה has heard the sound of my weeping.

יהוה has heard my plea; יהוה will receive my prayer.

All my enemies will be ashamed and greatly terrified; they will turn back; they will be ashamed suddenly.
