ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To the Director: With stringed instruments. On an eight-stringed harp. A Davidic Psalm
A Prayer in Times of Trouble LORD, in your anger, do not rebuke me, in your wrath, do not discipline me. ² Be gracious to me, LORD, because I am fading away. Heal me, because my body is distressed. ³ And my soul is deeply distressed. But you, LORD, how long do I wait? ⁴ Return, LORD, save my life! Deliver me, because of your gracious love. ⁵ In death, there is no memory of you. Who will give you thanks where the dead are? ⁶ I am weary from my groaning. Every night my couch is drenched with tears, my bed is soaked through. ⁷ My eyesight has faded because of grief, it has dimmed because of all my enemies. ⁸ Get away from me, all of you who practice evil, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping. ⁹ The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD receives my prayer. ¹⁰ As for all my enemies, they will be put to shame; they will be greatly frightened and suddenly turn away ashamed.
