Prayer for Mercy in Time of Trouble.
For the choir director; with stringed instruments, upon an eight-string lyre. A Psalm of David.
O Lord, ado not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor chasten me in Your wrath.
2 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am apining away;
bHeal me, O Lord, for cmy bones are dismayed.
3 And my asoul is greatly dismayed;
But You, O Lord—bhow long?
4 Return, O Lord, arescue my soul;
Save me because of Your lovingkindness.
5 For athere is no mention of You in death;
In Sheol who will give You thanks?
6 I am aweary with my sighing;
Every night I make my bed swim,
I dissolve my couch with bmy tears.
7 My aeye has wasted away with grief;
It has become old because of all my adversaries.
8 aDepart from me, all you who do iniquity,
For the Lord bhas heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The Lord ahas heard my supplication,
The Lord breceives my prayer.
10 All my enemies will abe ashamed and greatly dismayed;
They shall turn back, they will bsuddenly be ashamed.
