1 For the end, a Psalm of David among the Hymns for the eighth.
2 O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath, neither chasten me in thine anger.
3 Pity me, O Lord ; for I am weak : heal me, O Lord ; for my bones are vexed.
4 My soul also is grievously vexed : but thou, O Lord, how long ?
5 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul : save me for thy mercy's sake.
6 For in death no man remembers thee : and who will give thee thanks in Hades ?
7 I am wearied with my groaning ; I shall wash my bed every night ; I shall water my couch with my tears. Notesn1 Gr. I have laboured.
8 Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath ; I am worn out because of all my enemies.
9 Depart from me, all ye that work iniquity ; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
10 The Lord has hearkened to my petition ; the Lord has accepted my prayer.
11 Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled : let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.
