O Lord, don’t rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage.Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.I am sick at heart. How long, O Lord, until you restore me?Return, O Lord, and rescue me. Save me because of your unfailing love.For the dead do not remember you. Who can praise you from the grave?I am worn out from sobbing. All night I flood my bed with weeping, drenching it with my tears.My vision is blurred by grief; my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.Go away, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weeping.The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord will answer my prayer.
