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 strength; 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 swollenfrom 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 helpand will answer my prayer.
10. My enemies will know the bitter shame of defeat;in sudden confusion they will be driven away.
