| Prayer for Mercy in Time of Trouble |
| For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the 1 Sheminith. A Psalm of David. |
| [1] | O JEHOVAH, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. |
| [2] | Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away: O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled. |
| [3] | My soul also is sore troubled: And thou, O Jehovah, how long? |
| [4] | Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: Save me for thy lovingkindness’ sake. |
| [5] | For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In Sheol who shall give thee thanks? |
| [6] | I am weary with my groaning; Every night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. |
| [7] | Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries. |
| [8] | Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping. |
| [9] | Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer. |
| [10] | All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled: They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly. |
| Note 1. Or, the eighth. [back] |
