¹Lord, please don't condemn me because you're angry with me; please don't punish me because you're angry with me!

²Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak; heal me, Lord, for I am sick to the bone.

³I'm shaking all over in fear. How long will it be, Lord, before you do something?

⁴Turn, Lord, and rescue me! Save me because of your trustworthy love![#6:4. This could either mean to turn towards the psalmist, or for the Lord to change his mind and heal the psalmist.]

⁵For no one remembers you when they're dead. Who is able to praise you from the grave?

⁶My groaning has exhausted me. Every night I soak my bed with my crying; I drench my couch with my tears.

⁷With all my crying I can hardly see; my eyes grow weak because of the trouble my enemies cause me.

⁸Leave me alone, all you people who do evil, for the Lord has heard me crying!

⁹The Lord has heard me calling out for help; the Lord answers my prayer.

¹⁰All who hate me will be shamefully defeated and terrified; they will run away in disgrace.
