¹ Don't punish me, Lord,
or even correct me
    when you are angry!
² Have pity on me and heal
    my feeble body.
My bones tremble with fear,
³     and I am in deep distress.
    How long will it be?

⁴ Turn and come to my rescue.
    Show your wonderful love
    and save me, Lord.
⁵ If I die, I cannot praise you
    or even remember you.
⁶ My groaning has worn me out.
    At night my bed and pillow
    are soaked with tears.
⁷ Sorrow has made my eyes dim,
and my sight has failed
    because of my enemies.

⁸ You, Lord, heard my crying,
and those hateful people
    had better leave me alone.
⁹ You have answered my prayer
    and my plea for mercy.
¹⁰ My enemies will be ashamed
    and terrified,
    as they quickly run away
    in complete disgrace.
