2 Do not reprove me in your anger, LORD, nor punish me in your wrath.	2 O Lord, do not rebuke me in your fury, nor chastise me in your anger.
3 Have pity on me, LORD, for I am weak; heal me, LORD, for my bones are trembling.	3 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones have become disturbed,
4 In utter terror is my soul-- and you, LORD, how long...?	4 and my soul has been very troubled. But as for you, Lord, when?
5 Turn, LORD, save my life; in your mercy rescue me.	5 Turn to me, Lord, and rescue my soul. Save me because of your mercy.
6 For who among the dead remembers you? Who praises you in Sheol?	6 For there is no one in death who would be mindful of you. And who will confess to you in Hell?
7 I am wearied with sighing; all night long tears drench my bed; my couch is soaked with weeping.	7 I have labored in my groaning. Every night, with my tears, I will wash my bed and drench my blanket.
8 My eyes are dimmed with sorrow, worn out because of all my foes.	8 My eye has been troubled by rage. I have grown old among all my enemies.
9 Away from me, all who do evil! The LORD has heard my weeping.	9 Scatter before me, all you who work iniquity, for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
10 The LORD has heard my prayer; the LORD takes up my plea.	10 The Lord has heard my supplication. The Lord has accepted my prayer.
11 My foes will be terrified and disgraced; all will fall back in sudden shame.	11 Let all my enemies be ashamed and together be greatly troubled. May they be converted and become ashamed very quickly.
