¹Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger^(A)

    heal me,^(D) Lord, for my bones are in agony.^(E)
³My soul is in deep anguish.^(F)
    How long,^(G) Lord, how long?

⁵Among the dead no one proclaims your name.
Who praises you from the grave?^(J)

⁶I am worn out^(K) from my groaning.^(L)

All night long I flood my bed with weeping^(M)
and drench my couch with tears.^(N)
⁷My eyes grow weak^(O) with sorrow;
they fail because of all my foes.

⁸Away from me,^(P) all you who do evil,^(Q)
    for the Lord has heard my weeping.
⁹The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;^(R)
    the Lord accepts my prayer.
¹⁰All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish;^(S)
    they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.^(T)

6 O Lord, ^(B)do not rebuke me in Your anger,

Oración en momentos de angustia

⁽¹⁾Del maestro de coro, con instrumentos de ocho cuerdas. Salmo de David.

6 ⁽²⁾Señor,
no me reprendas en tu enojo,
no me castigues en tu furor.
²⁽³⁾Señor, ten compasión de mí,
pues me siento sin fuerzas.
Señor, devuélveme la salud,
pues todo el cuerpo me tiembla.
³⁽⁴⁾¡Estoy temblando de miedo!
Y tú, Señor, ¿cuándo vendrás?

⁴⁽⁵⁾Ven, Señor, ¡salva mi vida!,
¡sálvame, por tu amor!
⁵⁽⁶⁾Nadie que esté muerto puede acordarse de ti;
¿quién podrá alabarte en el sepulcro?
⁶⁽⁷⁾Estoy cansado de llorar.
Noche tras noche lloro tanto
que inundo de lágrimas mi almohada.
⁷⁽⁸⁾El dolor me nubla la vista;
¡se me nubla por culpa de mis enemigos!

⁸⁽⁹⁾¡Apártense de mí, malhechores,
que el Señor ha escuchado mis sollozos!
⁹⁽¹⁰⁾El Señor ha escuchado mis ruegos,
¡el Señor ha aceptado mi oración!
¹⁰⁽¹¹⁾Mis enemigos, muertos de miedo,
quedarán en ridículo;
¡en un abrir y cerrar de ojos huirán avergonzados!
