1Adonai, don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.

2Have mercy on me, Adonai, for I am faint. Adonai, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

3My soul is also in great anguish. But you, Adonai, how long?

4Teshuvah ·Completely return·, Adonai. Deliver my soul, and save me for your chesed ·loving-kindness’· sake.

5For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol ·Place of the dead·, who shall yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you?

6I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed.
I drench my couch with my tears.

7My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.

8Depart from me, all you workers of vain striving of iniquity, ²²for Adonai has sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of my weeping.

9Adonai has sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my supplication. Adonai accepts my prayer.

10May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.
