JPS Tanakh 1917 1For the Leader; with string-music; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. 2O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger, Neither chasten me in Thy wrath. 3Be gracious unto me, O LORD, for I languish away; Heal me, O LORD, for my bones are affrighted. 4My soul also is sore affrighted; And Thou, O LORD, how long? 5Return, O LORD, deliver my soul; Save me for Thy mercy’s sake. 6For in death there is no remembrance of Thee; In the nether-world who will give Thee thanks? 7I am weary with my groaning; Every night make I my bed to swim; I melt away my couch with my tears. 8Mine eye is dimmed because of vexation; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries. 9Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. 10The LORD hath heard my supplication; The LORD receiveth my prayer. 11All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore affrighted; They shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.
