 Sheminith: or, the eighth.

1O Yhwh, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 2Have mercy upon me, O Yhwh; for I am weak: O Yhwh, heal me; for my bones are vexed. 3My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Yhwh, how long? 4Return, O Yhwh, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake. 5For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? 6I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
 all…: or, every night.
7Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. 8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for Yhwh hath heard the voice of my weeping. 9Yhwh hath heard my supplication; Yhwh will receive my prayer. 10Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
