For the Leader; with string-music; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
2יְהוָה אַל־בְּאַפְּךָ תוֹכִיחֵנִי וְאַל־בַּחֲמָתְךָ תְיַסְּרֵנִי׃
O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger, Neither chasten me in Thy wrath.
3חָנֵּנִי יְהוָה כִּי אֻמְלַל אָנִי רְפָאֵנִי יְהוָה כִּי נִבְהֲלוּ עֲצָמָי׃
Be gracious unto me, O LORD, for I languish away; Heal me, O LORD, for my bones are affrighted.

4וְנַפְשִׁי נִבְהֲלָה מְאֹד ואת [וְאַתָּה] יְהוָה עַד־מָתָי׃
My soul also is sore affrighted; And Thou, O LORD, how long?
5שׁוּבָה יְהוָה חַלְּצָה נַפְשִׁי הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי לְמַעַן חַסְדֶּךָ׃
Return, O LORD, deliver my soul; Save me for Thy mercy's sake.
6כִּי אֵין בַּמָּוֶת זִכְרֶךָ בִּשְׁאוֹל מִי יוֹדֶה־לָּךְ׃
For in death there is no remembrance of Thee; In the nether-world who will give Thee thanks?
7יָגַעְתִּי בְּאַנְחָתִי אַשְׂחֶה בְכָל־לַיְלָה מִטָּתִי בְּדִמְעָתִי עַרְשִׂי אַמְסֶה׃
I am weary with my groaning; Every night make I my bed to swim; I melt away my couch with my tears.
8עָשְׁשָׁה מִכַּעַס עֵינִי עָתְקָה בְּכָל־צוֹרְרָי׃
Mine eye is dimmed because of vexation; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.
9סוּרוּ מִמֶּנִּי כָּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן כִּי־שָׁמַע יְהוָה קוֹל בִּכְיִי׃
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
10שָׁמַע יְהוָה תְּחִנָּתִי יְהוָה תְּפִלָּתִי יִקָּח׃
The LORD hath heard my supplication; The LORD receiveth my prayer.
11יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲלוּ מְאֹד כָּל־אֹיְבָי יָשֻׁבוּ יֵבֹשׁוּ רָגַע׃
All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore affrighted; They shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.
