⁴ Turn,^(H) Lord, and deliver me;
    save me because of your unfailing love.^(I)
5 Among the dead no one proclaims your name.
    Who praises you from the grave?^(J)

⁶ I 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)
7 My eyes grow weak^(O) with sorrow;
    they fail because of all my foes.

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

³ When I kept silent,^(D)
    my bones wasted away^(E)
    through my groaning^(F) all day long.
⁴ For day and night
    your hand was heavy^(G) on me;
my strength was sapped^(H)
    as in the heat of summer.^[b]

⁵ Then I acknowledged my sin to you
    and did not cover up my iniquity.^(I)
I said, “I will confess^(J)
    my transgressions^(K) to the Lord.”
And you forgave
    the guilt of my sin.^(L)

⁶ Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
    while you may be found;^(M)
surely the rising^(N) of the mighty waters^(O)
    will not reach them.^(P)
7 You are my hiding place;^(Q)
    you will protect me from trouble^(R)
    and surround me with songs of deliverance.^(S)

⁸ I will instruct^(T) you and teach you^(U) in the way you should go;
    I will counsel you with my loving eye on^(V) you.
⁹ Do not be like the horse or the mule,
    which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle^(W)
    or they will not come to you.
¹⁰ Many are the woes of the wicked,^(X)
    but the Lord’s unfailing love
    surrounds the one who trusts^(Y) in him.

¹¹ Rejoice in the Lord^(Z) and be glad, you righteous;
    sing, all you who are upright in heart!
