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

1 Oh Jehovah, do not rebuke me in Your anger, neither chasten me in Your hot displeasure.
2 Have mercy upon me, oh, Jehovah, for I am weak: oh, Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are disturbed.
3 My mind is also exceedingly disturbed: but You, oh, Jehovah, how long?
4 Return, oh, Jehovah, deliver my mind. Oh save me for Your mercies' sake.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of You; in sheol who shall give You 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 My eye is consumed because of grief; it becomes old because of all my enemies.
8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for Jehovah has heard the voice of my weeping.
9 Jehovah has heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer.
10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and exceedingly disturbed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.




King James Version (KJV)
1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I [am] weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?
4 Return, O LORD, 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 LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return [and] be ashamed suddenly.


Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments, on the octave. -- A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.
2 Favour me, O Jehovah, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,
3 And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?
4 Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.
5 For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee?
6 I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night [on] my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.
7 Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,
8 Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,
9 Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.
10 Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back -- ashamed [in] a moment!
