To the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set [possibly] an octave below. A Psalm of David.
O LORD, do not rebuke or punish me in Your anger,
Nor discipline me in Your wrath.
Have mercy on me and be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am weak (faint, frail);
Heal me, O LORD, for my bones are dismayed and anguished.
My soul [as well as my body] is greatly dismayed.
But as for You, O LORD—how long [until You act on my behalf]?
For in death there is no mention of You;
In Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) who will praise You and give You thanks?
I am weary with my groaning;
Every night I soak my bed with tears,
I drench my couch with my weeping.
