I am weary from my groaning;(A)
with my tears I dampen my pillow[a]
and drench my bed every night.(B)
My eyes are swollen from grief;(C)
they[b] grow old because of all my enemies.

Depart from me, all evildoers,
for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.(D)
The Lord has heard my plea for help;(E)
the Lord accepts my prayer.(F)
10 All my enemies will be ashamed and shake with terror;
they will turn back(G) and suddenly be disgraced.(H)
