1 LORD, don't be angry and
rebuke me!
Don't punish me in your anger!
2 I am worn out; O LORD, Have pity
on me!
Give me strenth; I am
completely exhausted
3 and my whole being is deeply
troubled.
How long, O LORD, will you wait to
help me?
4 Come and save me, LORD;
in your mercy rescue me from
death.
5 In the world of the dead you are
not remembered;
no one can praise you there.
6 I am worn out with grief;
every night my bed is damp
from my weeping;
my pillow is soaked with tears.
7 I can hardly see;
my eyes are so swollen
from the weeping caused by my
enemies.
8 Keep away from me, you evil
people!
The LORD hears my weeping;
9 he listens to my cry for help
and will answer my prayer.
10 My enemies will know the bitter
shame of defeat;
in sudden confusion they will be
driven away.
