For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments, according to Sheminith. 1 A Psalm of David.
O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger Psa 118:18Psa 38:1Jer 10:24Jer 46:281Co 11:31-321Ch 15:21Isa 57:16Isa 54:9
or discipline me in Your wrath.
Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am frail; Hos 6:1Psa 30:2Psa 31:10Jer 17:14Deu 32:39Psa 41:3-4Psa 51:8Gen 20:17
heal me, O LORD, for my bones are in agony.
My soul is deeply distressed. Psa 90:13Jhn 12:27Luk 18:7Psa 13:1-2Psa 42:11Psa 42:5Psa 77:2-3Mat 26:38
How long, O LORD, how long?
Turn, O LORD, and deliver my soul; Dan 9:18Eph 2:7-8Psa 116:4Psa 17:13Mal 3:7Psa 121:7Psa 22:20Psa 80:14
save me because of Your loving devotion.
For there is no mention of You in death; Psa 88:10-12Psa 115:17Ecc 9:10Psa 30:9Isa 38:18-19Psa 118:17Jhn 9:4
who can praise You from Sheol?
I am weary from groaning; Psa 38:9Psa 42:3Psa 69:3Job 16:20Job 23:2Job 7:3Lam 1:16Lam 1:2
all night I flood my bed with weeping
and drench my couch with tears.
My eyes fail from grief; Job 17:7Psa 38:10Lam 5:17Psa 88:9Psa 31:9-10Psa 32:3
they grow dim because of all my foes.
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, Luk 13:27Psa 119:115Psa 145:18Mat 7:23Psa 3:4Heb 5:7Mat 25:41Psa 139:19
for the LORD has heard my weeping.
The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; Psa 66:19-20Psa 120:12Co 12:8-10Psa 118:5Psa 138:3Psa 40:1-2Jon 2:72Co 1:10-11
the LORD accepts my prayer.
All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; Jer 20:11Mal 3:18Psa 86:17Pro 29:1Isa 26:11Psa 109:28-29Psa 112:10Psa 132:18
they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
