To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.

1 - O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2 - Have mercy upon me, O L ORD ; for I am weak : O L ORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

3 - My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O L ORD, how long?

4 - Return, O L ORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.

5 - For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

6 - I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

7 - Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

8 - Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity ; for the L ORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9 - The L ORD hath heard my supplication; the L ORD will receive my prayer.

10 - Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
