1For the end, a Psalm of David among the Hymns for the eighth.
1O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath, neither chasten me in thine anger.
2Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.
3My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?
4My soul also is grievously vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?
4Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.
5Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for thy mercy's sake.
5For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
6For in death no man remembers thee: and who will give thee thanks in Hades?
6I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with my tears.
7Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
8Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.
8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9Depart from me, all ye that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
9The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.
10The Lord has hearkened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.
10Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
