Prayer for Mercy in Time of Trouble.

¹ LORD, ^(C1)do not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor discipline me in Your wrath.

² Be gracious to me, LORD, for I am ^(C1)frail;
^(C2)Heal me, LORD, for ^(C3)my bones are horrified.

³ And my ^(C1)soul is greatly horrified;
But You, LORD—^(C2)how long?

⁴ Return, LORD, ^(C1)rescue my ^(F1)soul;
Save me because of Your mercy.

⁵ For ^(C1)there is no ^(F1)mention of You in death;
In ^(F2)Sheol, who will praise You?

⁶ I am ^(C1)weary with my sighing;
Every night I make my bed swim,
I flood my couch with ^(C2)my tears.

⁷ My ^(C1)eye has wasted away with grief;
It has grown old because of all my enemies.

^8 (C1)Leave me, all you who practice injustice,
For the LORD ^(C2)has heard the sound of my weeping.

⁹ The LORD ^(C1)has heard my pleading,
The LORD ^(C2)receives my prayer.

¹⁰ All my enemies will ^(C1)be put to shame and greatly horrified;
They shall ^(F1)turn back, they will ^(C2)suddenly be put to shame.
