Psalm

O LORD, Deliver My Life
6 To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to The Sheminith.₍₁₎ A Psalm of David.

    O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger,
        nor discipline me in your wrath. ₂Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing;
        heal me, O LORD, for my bones are troubled. ₃My soul also is greatly troubled.
        But you, O LORD—how long? ₄Turn, O LORD, deliver my life;
        save me for the sake of your steadfast love. ₅For in death there is no remembrance of you;
        in Sheol who will give you praise? ₆I am weary with my moaning;
        every night I flood my bed with tears;
        I drench my couch with my weeping. ₇My eye wastes away because of grief;
        it grows weak because of all my foes. ₈Depart from me, all you workers of evil,
        for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping. ₉The LORD has heard my plea;
        the LORD accepts my prayer. ₁₀All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
        they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
