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