To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.

1. O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger,
   neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2. Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak:
   O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?
4. Return, O Lord, deliver my soul:
   oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.
5. For in death there is no remembrance of thee:
   in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
6. I am weary with my groaning;
   all the night make I my bed to swim;
   I water my couch with my tears.
7. Mine eye is consumed because of grief;
   it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
8. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;
   for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9. The Lord hath heard my supplication;
   the Lord will receive my prayer.
10. Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed:
    let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

(KJV)
